OXFORD, England, August 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

PharmaVentures Ltd. ("PharmaVentures") is pleased to announce that it acted as an independent adviser to SalvaRx Group plc (SALV: LSE) ("SalvaRx") and Portage Biotech, Inc ("Portage"), on the acquisition of its subsidiary SalvaRx Ltd by Portage. Subject to regulatory and shareholder consent, Portage will acquire 100% of SalvaRx Limited for an aggregate consideration of US$71.7 Million.

As SalvaRx is a related party of Portage, the transaction is subject to the requirements of Alberta Securities Commission's Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). As a consequence, the Transaction requires minority shareholder approval.

Although the transaction is exempt from the formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to Section 5.5(a) PharmaVentures was commissioned by SalvaRx and Portage to perform an independent valuation (the "Valuation") of SalvaRx Limited. The Valuation, dated July 23, 2018, provided the parties with, amongst other things, a discussion of various methodologies to value SalvaRx Limited as well as a range of possible values.

We are pleased to have assisted SalvaRx in their endeavors."
