NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / March 20, 2015 / On September 11 last year, a little-known Israeli financial magazine called Globes came out with a report that Dr. Phillip Frost, Chairman and CEO of Opko Health (NYSE:OPK), and then Chairman of Teva Pharmaceuticals (NYSE:TEVA), was interested in moving a private Israeli biotech called SciVac, 45% owned by Opko, into a corporate shell and making it public.
Today, Frost accomplished his goal, as SciVac has been officially acquired by Levon Resources (OTCMKTS:LVNVF), with 68.4% of the new company going to the former private SciVac shareholders and 31.6% going to former Levon shareholders. Since Opko already has a 45% stake in SciVac, that brings its total take in SciVac to 30.8%.
This is going to be a winn winn, i hope.
