Themis Bioscience: Themis, Austrian company focused on vaccines and immune-modulation therapies for infectious diseases and cancer and MSD (trademark of Merck & Co., Inc.,) announced that the companies have entered into a definitive agreement under which MSD, through a subsidiary, will acquire privately-held Themis. The planned acquisition builds upon an ongoing collaboration between the two companies to develop vaccine candidates using the measles virus vector platform, and is expected to accelerate the development of Themis’ COVID-19 vaccine candidate. The vaccine candidate is in pre-clinical development, and clinical studies are planned to start later in 2020. Under terms of the agreement, MSD, through a subsidiary, will acquire all outstanding shares of Themis in exchange for an undisclosed cash payment. Upon completion of the deal Themis will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of MSD. “This acquisition by MSD, a global leader in vaccine development, reflects Themis’ success in applying our versatile immune-modulation platform that builds on the original discoveries from the Institut Pasteur,” said Erich Tauber, chief executive officer, Themis. “We are excited for the next phase of our relationship with MSD and in the near term look forward to focusing resources toward the development and global scale-up of our candidate SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.”

Marinomed: Marinomed Biotech AG, a globally active biopharmaceutical company based in Vienna, reported a strong rise in demand for Carragelose® products in the first quarter of 2020. The company was able to increase sales by 35% to Euro 1.01 mn in the first quarter of 2020. The operating result (EBIT) improved to Euro -1.41 mn. As planned, the quarterly result was negative at Euro -1.57 mn, after Euro -3.24 mn in the prior-year period. Marinomed is currently working on the collection of clinical data on the effectiveness of Carragelose® on the SARS-CoV-2 virus in cooperation with the Medical University of Vienna. "We have good chances to play a role in the global race for effective countermeasures with a Carragelose® inhalation solution. Our product would have the great advantage that it could not only be used for viral pneumonia against the new corona virus, but also for pneumonia caused by other viruses. There is a great medical need for the treatment of viral pneumonia", explains CEO Andreas Grassauer. "To meet the high demand, we are working intensively with our partners to expand our production capacities", says CEO Andreas Grassauer. Marinomed was able to further pursue research and development on the Marinosolv® platform in the first quarter of 2020. Preclinical results were consistently positive and led to a broadening of the pipeline.

S Immo: Real estate company S Immo looks back on a successful first quarter of 2020 in operating terms, despite the impacts suffered since the middle of March due to the Covid-19 crisis. Rental income rose by around 10% in annual comparison to Euro 31.1 mn, the FFO I – a key figure for operating performance – advanced by 27.8% to Euro 13.8 mn. At the same time, the results on property valuation turned negative to reach minus Euro 31.5 mn in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic (Q1 2019: plus Euro 9.9 mn). All in all, the company saw a loss for the period of Euro 21.4 mn as of 31 March 2020 (Q1 2019: profit for the period of Euro 15.1 mn). CEO Ernst Vejdovszky commented: “In March we were particularly affected in the second half of the month, hotels and retail were hit the hardest in April. May was by no means a pleasure, but we are seeing more positive signs, the gradual easing of lockdown measures, and a glimmer of hope on the horizon. In addition, residential properties (which make up close to 30% of our portfolio) have suffered little adverse impact and may even be able to profit from the general uncertainty in the coming months. The capital increase we conducted at the beginning of 2020 has also provided us with a very comfortable cash buffer, which makes us optimistic about 2021.” Friedrich Wachernig, member of the Management Board adds: “We have a high-quality portfolio at established sites, an eminently qualified team, and a very stable equity and liquidity basis – in part thanks to the capital increase in January 2020. This enables us to continue working successfully in the current challenging environment and to focus already on 2021. This crisis will give rise to opportunities, and we have the strength, the expertise, and also the means with very high cash and cash equivalents of over EUR 230m to seize these opportunities at the right time".
