GCA Altium advises Cheplapharm on its TLB refinancing
GCA Altium acted as exclusive debt advisor to Cheplapharm Arzneimittel GmbH on its successful debut on the syndicated and rated TLB market.
Cheplapharm is a family-owned pharmaceutical company offering branded off-patent specialty products. The Group has a unique international footprint and a broad portfolio of over 70 products across more than 10 therapeutic areas. Cheplapharm focuses on acquiring original well-established off-patent niche and legacy branded pharmaceuticals from large pharmaceutical companies and creating value through its global footprint.
