•Transaction includes transfer of manufacturing site, CDMO operations and associated personnel to Bora

MacroGenics, Inc. (NASDAQ: MGNX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative antibody-based therapeutics for the treatment of cancer, and Bora Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (TWSE: 6472; OTCQX: BORAY), a global leader in pharmaceutical manufacturing,  announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement in which MacroGenics will sell its good manufacturing practice (GMP) drug substance manufacturing operations to Bora, subject to customary closing conditions.

“When MacroGenics articulated its strategic priorities last year, we committed to building a more focused company centered on advancing our innovative pipeline and delivering long-term shareholder value. This transaction supports that strategy by providing additional non-dilutive capital to accelerate our pipeline to key value inflection points in 2026 and beyond,” said Eric Risser, President and Chief Executive Officer of MacroGenics. “This transaction will also allow the contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) operation to expand under Bora’s ownership, while enabling MacroGenics to maintain access to an expanded array of development and manufacturing capabilities to support our current and future pipeline.”

“We are excited to integrate this high-quality Maryland manufacturing site and its talented workforce into our group’s global CDMO effort,” said Bobby Sheng, Chairman of the Bora Group. “We view this acquisition as a key part of our strategy to expand Bora’s North American biologics operation under Bora Biologics. Along with our Drug Product operations in Baltimore, we aim to establish Bora as a partner of choice for end to end clinical and commercial production of biologics drug substance and drug product.”

Under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, Bora will pay MacroGenics an upfront payment of $122.5 million, before transaction fees and expenses. Upon closing, Bora will assume responsibility for MacroGenics’ manufacturing operations supporting clinical and commercial production. Both the Rockville, Maryland headquarters site, including the FDA-approved facility with total capacity of 11,000 liters, and Frederick, Maryland warehouse will transfer to Bora. In addition, approximately 140 MacroGenics employees are expected to be hired by Bora. The companies will jointly work to ensure a seamless transition and continued service for both MacroGenics and any existing CDMO client. As part of the transaction, MacroGenics will have a supply arrangement with Bora to support process development and drug substance production for its internal pipeline needs. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions.
