Cycle Pharmaceuticals Completes Acquisition of Applied Therapeutics

CAMBRIDGE, England & DETROIT--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cycle Group Holdings Limited (“Cycle”) is delighted to announce it has completed the acquisition of NASDAQ-listed Applied Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: APLT; “Applied”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company.

Applied’s lead drug candidate, govorestat, is a novel central nervous system (CNS) penetrant Aldose Reductase Inhibitor (ARI) for the treatment of CNS rare metabolic diseases, including Classic Galactosemia, Charcot-Marie-Tooth Sorbitol Dehydrogenase Deficiency (CMT-SORD) and phosphomannomutase 2 congenital disorder of glycosylation (PMM2-CDG), for which there are currently no FDA approved treatment options available.

“Cycle was founded with a commitment to support patients living with rare metabolic diseases. From our beginnings with NITYR®, we have grown to offer three therapies for this community. With Applied Therapeutics now a part of the Cycle group, we can look to expand further in this area. Our focus remains the same: to bring meaningful, reliable treatments to the patients and families who need them most.” says James Harrison, CEO of Cycle.

The transaction is to be funded from cash on hand.

For Cycle, Goodwin Procter LLP acted as legal counsel. For Applied, Aquilo Partners, L.P. provided a fairness opinion, and Ropes & Gray LLP acted as legal counsel.
