Regulatory News:
Publicis Groupe (Paris:PUB) [Euronext Paris FR0000130577, CAC
40] today announced that it has closed on the sale of its
pharmaceutical contract sales and commercialization units under the
banner of Publicis Health Solutions (PHS) to Altamont Capital
Partners (Altamont). This business unit was placed under strategic
review by Publicis Groupe in June 2018. The divestiture process was
announced in October of the same year while the signing of the sale
was completed before the end of 2018.
PHS, which was previously housed under Publicis Health, Publicis
Groupe’s healthcare solutions network, is a contract sales and
commercialization organization that works with a range of
pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device and diagnostics
companies, and provides a suite of services through operating
brands that include Touchpoint, PDI, Tardis Medical, PHrequency and
CustomPoint Recruiting.
The creative, media, insights, digital, market access and
consulting agencies under Publicis Health are unaffected by the
sale and will continue to be led by Publicis Health CEO, Alexandra
von Plato.
This divestment reinforces Publicis Groupe’s focus on providing
clients with the best healthcare-related consulting, data and
technology offerings in support of their growth and digital
transformation.
Petsky Prunier Securities LLC acted as exclusive financial
advisor to Publicis Groupe in connection with the sale.
