Haleon plc: Increase ownership of China JV to 100%

15 April 2025: Haleon plc (the "Company" or "Haleon") announces that following the acquisition of a 33% equity interest in Tianjin TSKF Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. ("TSKF"), its OTC joint venture in China in December 2024, it has today entered into an agreement to acquire the remaining 12% equity interest from its partner Tianjin Pharmaceutical Da Ren Tang Group Corporation Limited ("DRTG"). This transaction is for a total consideration of RMB 1,623 million (c. £0.2 billion) and will result in TSKF becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Haleon.

 

The acquisition is expected to be funded through a combination of Haleon's existing cash resources and new third-party Renminbi-denominated debt. Subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of DRTG's shareholders and applicable regulatory clearances, the transaction is expected to close within the next three months.
