  • Brisbane-Based Alchemia Merge with Melbourne-Based Meditech
    www.asiabiotech.com Industry Watch Australia Brisbane-based Alchemia Merge with Melbourne-based Meditech Brisbane-based biotech firm, Alchemia, and Melbourne-based Meditech Research are to merge via an off-market takeover bid by Alchemia for Meditech that values the latter company at A$16.9 million (US$12.4 million). The companies said that by joining forces, they would create a substantial drug development company with an extensive pipeline of products, a strong financial position and an experienced management team. The companies also said that the merger would bring together two companies with technology platforms based on carbohydrates. Alchemia's chemistry expertise would complement Meditech's biology expertise. Meditech's strong preclinical and clinical expertise would accelerate the development of Alchemia's drug discovery opportunities. Alchemia chief executive officer, Tracie Ramsdale, said that the combined group would have exceptional people, a high-quality product pipeline and innovative technology. "The Alchemia board believes Meditech will be an excellent addition to Alchemia's growing drug development and discovery portfolio," Ramsdale said. Alchemia will offer Meditech shareholders one Alchemia share for every nine Meditech shares, valuing Meditech at A$16.9 million (US$12.4 million) based on Alchemia's 30-day volume- weighted average price of A$1.207 (US$0.885). The merger proposal has the unanimous support of Meditech directors, who intend to recommend the offer to Meditech shareholders in the absence of a superior proposal. All directors who hold Meditech shares or options will accept Alchemia's offer in respect of their shareholdings and option holdings in the absence of a superior proposal.

  • Queensland, Australia: Brisbane, the Reef, and the Gold Coast by Lee Foster
    Queensland, Australia: Brisbane, the Reef, and the Gold Coast by Lee Foster Australia benefits with travel momentum gained from its occasional exposures on the international stage. The Australian emerges as a person with a self-reliant, can-do attitude. They have a saying in Australia that, if your car or your tractor breaks down, especially in the back country, you should be able to fix it yourself. The idea is that, with a little baling wire, an Aussie should be able to fix about anything. The saying is, “Twitch it up with wire.” Brisbane is one city that has benefited from exposure. When thinking of Brisbane , consider: *The city of Brisbane itself, which has 1.7 million inhabitants in the region. One interesting category of shop sells aboriginal arts from the state. As you walk around the city, you see statues and small parks, such as a monument to Queen Victoria . The city lies in a sub-tropical environment, with the October spring iparticularly colorful because purple jacaranda trees bloom lavishly. Queenslanders often build their houses on stilts for greater air flow, flood control, and termite or dry rot prevention. *The Gold Coast, the 19-mile beach playground starting 39 miles south of Brisbane . The so-called Gold Coast ranks as one of the great beach areas of the world. Extensive development of hotels, especially by the Japanese, occurs at Surfer’s Paradise , including one of the largest hotels in Australia , the Conrad International. Swimming and sunning at Gold Coast Beaches rivals the experience of Hawaii or the Caribbean . Surfers Paradise is well known as Australia ‘s longest topless swimming area.
