Stallergenes Greer (Paris:STAGR), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in treatments for respiratory allergies, today noted a drop of its share price that may be related to the publication of an injunction received from the French National Agency for Medicines and Health Products Safety (ANSM) following the inspection of one production area at the company's facility in Antony, France.

The company clarifies that the injunction published by the ANSM on January 9, 2018 does not impact supply and does not require a product recall. Stallergenes Greer will continue to supply the market with allergy immunotherapy treatments while it addresses the ANSM observations identified in the injunction.

The company also confirms that most of the observations noted by the agency either have been addressed or are in the process of being resolved as part of the ongoing upgrade of the manufacturing operations at the Antony facility. The current manufacturing upgrades and investments began two years ago in order to ensure that Stallergenes Greer meets the required quality standards.

"We are fully cooperating with the ANSM and we have already taken corrective actions voluntarily to upgrade our manufacturing operations. We are now focused on completing the remaining items identified by the agency within the agreed-upon timeline, " said Fereydoun Firouz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

The injunction was issued following an ANSM inspection of one of the facility's production areas. The observations relate to the quality management system and processes, such as the procedures to investigate and close manufacturing deviations from agreed manufacturing specifications, primarily for the production of subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) products.

The company does not expect the ANSM injunction to have a material impact on its business and will provide an update on the progress of its manufacturing upgrade during its next earning call on March 22, 2018.
