This filing details the formal agreement for OSR Holdings to acquire the VXM01 intellectual property from its indirect subsidiary, Vaximm AG, for a substantial $30 million. While the transaction is an intra-group restructuring designed to optimize tax and transfer pricing for future VXM01 revenues, the stated purchase price represents a significant contingent liability for a company with a market cap of approximately $14.5 million.
