AGM Statement
Alliance Pharma plc (AIM: APH), the international healthcare group, will hold its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") at 10.00am this morning. At the meeting, the Group's Chairman, David Cook, will make the following statement:
"Firstly, on behalf of the Alliance Board, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Alliance's employees around the world for their continued commitment and support through what for many, has been an extended period of remote working.
"As reported in March 2021, the year started well for the Group and we continue to see some strong performances from our key brands.
"Integration of the Biogix business and the Amberen brand into our US-based operations is progressing very well, with integration almost complete. Current trading and expectations for Amberen remain in line with our pre-acquisition forecasts.
"We remain confident in our ability to weather any ongoing disruption to our business in those areas of the world which continue to be challenged by the global pandemic, and to deliver full year results in line with market expectations.
"Further commentary on our first half trading performance and full year outlook will be provided in mid July 2021 in our half year trading update."
