GSK - Update on Strategic Review of Horlicks
As disclosed previously, in March 2018, GlaxoSmithKline Plc ("GSK") announced a strategic review of Horlicks and its other consumer healthcare nutrition products. The majority of Horlicks and other GSK nutrition products sales are generated in India by GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare Limited (the "GSKCH"). In response to recent press speculation, GSK confirms that consideration is being given to a potential transaction that includes a merger of GSKCH. There can be no assurance that a transaction will result from the review process or the evaluation of this option nor has any decision on the matter been made by the Company.
