Clifford Press, chief executive of California-based Acacia, described the criticism as “silly”.
“There was one single price given, which we agreed for the entire portfolio,” he said. “The allocation for individual positions is a function of the tax and accounting treatment in a multi-jurisdictional trade,” he said.
Press said most of the sales had been of American companies — including Evofem Biosciences and Theravance Biopharma — and that he planned to manage the remaining investments, which include “unicorns” Oxford Nanopore and Immunocore, from a new headquarters in Oxford.
