Galderma (SIX: GALD), the pure-play dermatology category leader, today announced that it has agreed to repurchase 2.38 million shares at a price of CHF 97.75 per share for a total consideration of CHF 232.5 million in the context of the accelerated bookbuild offering (“ABO”) of Galderma shares by Sunshine SwissCo GmbH (“EQT”), Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and Auba Investment Pte. Ltd. launched yesterday evening. The repurchase was made at the same price per share determined by the bookbuilding offering.
