TIDMWP RNS Number : 8710P GW Pharmaceuticals PLC 01 April 2009 GW ANNOUNCES GBP8M MILESTONE PAYMENT FROM ALMIRALL Porton Down, UK, 1 April 2009: GW Pharmaceuticals plc (GWP:AIM) today announces that it has received confirmation from its licensing partner, Laboratorios Almirall S.A., that it will pay to GW a milestone payment of GBP8 million. GW will receive the payment within the next few weeks. Under the GW-Almirall contract, this milestone payment became due in the event that GW obtained positive results in its recent Sativex Multiple Sclerosis Spasticity Phase III trial and, in addition, Almirall considered that the data was sufficiently positive to include a country within their licensed territory (Europe excluding UK) as part of the resultant Sativex regulatory submission. Following their review of the complete data from the positive Phase III trial announced on 11th March, Almirall have now confirmed their positive opinion of the data and that they wish to include Spain in the forthcoming regulatory submission. GW expects to submit the regulatory submission in Q2 09 to the UK and Spain under the European decentralized procedure. Following approval in the UK and Spain, GW and Almirall intend to expand into other European countries under the mutual recognition procedure. Justin Gover, GW's Managing Director, said, "We are delighted that Almirall share our positive view of the Phase III data and confidence in the prospects for regulatory approval. This milestone payment further underlines GW's robust financial position."

This study was requested by the UK regulator in order to gain approval in this indication. The prospectively defined primary efficacy endpoint of the study - the difference between the mean change in spasticity severity of Sativex vs Placebo - was highly statistically significantly in favour of Sativex (p=0.0002). The difference between Sativex and placebo was also highly significant for a number of secondary endpoints, including the 30% responder analysis (p=0.0003), spasm frequency (p=0.005), sleep disturbance (p<0.0001), patient global impression of change (p=0.023), and physician global impression of change (p=0.005). Regulatory Strategy Following these positive results, GW will submit a regulatory application in Q2 09 in the UK and Spain. The UK will act as Reference Member State. Following approval in these two countries, GW will seek to expand the approval into other European countries via the mutual recognition procedure. Upon approval, Sativex will be marketed exclusively in the UK by Bayer HealthCare and in the rest of Europe by Almirall. MS Spasticity Spasticity (spasms and stiffness) is one of the most common symptoms of MS occurring in as many as three-quarters of people with MS.
