Pharmagesic (Holdings) Inc. ("Pharmagesic") and WEX Pharmaceuticals Inc. (TSX:WXI) ("WEX") jointly announced today that Pharmagesic, together with its wholly owned subsidiary 7735308 Canada Limited, is making a take-over bid for all of WEX's outstanding restricted voting shares not currently held by Pharmagesic at an offer price of C$0.14 cash per share, and that the independent committee (the "Independent Committee") of WEX's board of directors, and WEX's board of directors itself, have unanimously agreed to recommend that WEX shareholders accept the offer. The C$0.14 offer price represents a premium of approximately 38% to the volume-weighted average closing price for WEX's restricted voting shares for the past 20 trading days. Pharmagesic, the holder of approximately 88.7% of WEX's issued and outstanding restricted voting shares and the sole Class A Share, had previously made a proposal to acquire the WEX shares not owned by it at an offer price of C$0.13 per share. The Independent Committee received a fairness opinion from Ernst & Young LLP to the effect that the offer price is fair, from a financial point of view, to shareholders of WEX other than Pharmagesic and parties related to it. The offer price is within the range of values determined by Ernst & Young LLP in a formal valuation prepared under the supervision of the Independent Committee. Simon Anderson, the Chair of the Independent Committee, stated: "We believe that the revised offer represents fair value for WEX shareholders. Additionally, the all-cash nature of the offer will provide shareholders with immediate liquidity for their interests." The take-over bid will be subject only to customary conditions (and no minimum acceptance condition). The take-over offer and circular and related offering materials will be mailed to shareholders shortly. For further information, a copy of the offer and circular can be found on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. About WEX Pharmaceuticals Inc.
