Recipharm announced that it controlled approximately 75.9 per cent. of the existing issued share capital of Consort Medical plc ('Consort').

As Recipharm now controls over 75 per cent. of the share capital, Consort will apply for delisting from the London Stock Exchange and cancellation is expected to take effect from 6 March 2020. Following the delisting, Consort will be re-registered as a private company.
