Target

Vaccine maker founded in 1991 within the Boryung group, producing Japanese encephalitis, influenza, DTaP-IPV and hepatitis A vaccines at its Jincheon plant, plus prescription drugs, genomic testing and a cord-blood bank. Boryung Partners held 69.29%.

Deal rationale

Dongwon Industries disclosed an MOU with Boryung Partners on 23 Feb 2023 but no direct statement of purpose appears in the sources. Reports said Boryung switched from a 2022 IPO to a sale amid weak markets, with Medigate interpreting the move as prioritising proper valuation. Dailypharm reported the 22 Mar 2023 withdrawal of exclusive due diligence was seen as due to an unresolved gap on price, citing IB estimates of KRW 450-500bn (buyer) versus KRW 500-650bn (seller).
