On the 12th, ERP was formulated at the town hall meeting for employees, and specific conditions were not decided

The aftermath for the sale of the Takeda’s business division began.

 

According to the industry on the 12th, Takeda Korea held a town hall meeting for all employees this morning, and had a time to share information related to the sale of the business division.

 

This is a follow-up procedure following the formalization of a contract to sell 18 copyright of medicines sold in 9 countries in Asia Pacific, including Korea, Australia, Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand, to Celltrion.

 

According to an internal employee who attended the Town Hall meeting, Takeda Korea officially formulated the position that it would be inevitable to operate the ERP, without the 'employment succession' of Korean subsidiaries included in the terms of the business transfer agreement.

 

The specific ERP-related schedule, implementation scale, and conditions have not yet been confirmed.

 

Management announced that it would notify employees of ERP-related progress in consultation with the union.

 

This contract includes 12 kinds of specialized medicines such as 'Nesina', 'Actos' and 'Edarbi' in charge of the Primary Care Division (PC BU), and six generic drugs such as 'Whitetuben' and Albothyl in charge of the Consumer Healthcare Division (OTC BU).
