Divestment of Nicotine Gum Business

Further to the announcement published on 19 September 2016, Revolymer (AIM: REVO) announces that the divestment of its nicotine gum business to the Danish company Alkalon A/S ("Alkalon") is now complete.

At completion, the consideration to Revolymer for the divestment of this business is a 15% equity holding in the enlarged Alkalon business, which may increase to 20% if certain commercial milestones in the acquired Revolymer nicotine gum business are met in within nine months of completion, namely the award of additional specific contracts in Canada. The consideration is valued at DKK8.2m, equivalent to £1.0m, and Revolymer currently expects to hold the investment for the medium to long term. Revolymer has taken up its right to appoint a director to the board of the combined business and Robin Cridland, Revolymer's CFO, will join the Board of Alkalon.
