The advisors on Santhera’s CHF 20m financing
Homburger advised Santhera in connection with its CHF 20 m royalty monetization and convertible bond financing.
The deal encompassed an USD 13 m royalty monetization financing with R-Bridge, an affiliate of Singapore-based healthcare-focused investment firm CBC Group.
Moreover, Santhera subscribed an agreement with Highbridge Capital Management, a longstanding investor of the company which, under Baker McKenzie Switzerland’s legal advisory, granted an additional CHF 10 m of funding and the exchange of an existing CHF 7 m private convertible bond for a new convertible bond.
Santhera’s Oliver Kronenberg (pictured above) acted as Chief Legal Officer on both fronts. Ropes & Gray served as U.S. counsel to Santhera.
