Alvotech Upsizes Oversubscribed PIPE Transaction to Approximately $175 Million

Alvotech Holdings S.A. (“Alvotech”), a leading global biopharmaceutical company focused solely on the development and manufacture of biosimilar medicines for patients worldwide, and Oaktree Acquisition Corp. II (“Oaktree II”) (NYSE: OACB), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company sponsored by an affiliate of Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., today announced $21 million in additional commitments for a private placement (“PIPE”) of Oaktree II common stock in connection with their proposed business combination.

The upsized PIPE, totaling approximately $175 million and entirely raised as common stock at $10.00 per share, is driven by increased interest from premier Icelandic investors, including Arctica Finance, Arion Bank, and Landsbankinn. This $21 million is in addition to other top-tier investors including Suvretta Capital, Athos (the Strüngmann Family Office), CVC Capital Partners, Temasek Holdings, Farallon Capital Management, and Sculptor Capital Management, among others.

The business combination is expected to deliver gross proceeds to Alvotech in excess of $475 million (assuming no redemptions). This includes cash proceeds of approximately $250 million from Oaktree II’s trust account (assuming no redemptions); in excess of $175 million from the upsized (PIPE) investors; and a $50 million equity commitment from existing shareholders which funded before year-end 2021. The combined company will have an implied initial enterprise value of approximately $2.25 billion.

“The upsized PIPE is a testament to the strong interest we have received from long-term investors as we continue our business combination with Oaktree II,” said Róbert Wessman, Chairman and founder of Alvotech. “We are pleased with the increased momentum we’re seeing as we enter 2022 and look forward to advancing our goal of bringing high quality, cost-effective biosimilar medicines to patients across the world.”

“Alvotech is well positioned to continue investing in the global growth of our biosimilar pipeline,” remarked Mark Levick, CEO of Alvotech. “We are very pleased with the ongoing success of our PIPE raise, which demonstrates our investors’ broad commitment to our mission of increased patient access.”

The proposed business combination is subject to the approval of Oaktree II stockholders and other closing conditions. Upon completion of the transaction, the combined company’s securities are expected to be traded on the NASDAQ under the symbol “ALVO.” The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2022.
