As announced at the Company's 2nd quarter results in July, GSK started a process to consider the divestment of certain North American and European brands in its Established Products Portfolio.
The Company has evaluated all bids received and has concluded, consistent with its key criteria of maximising shareholder value, not to pursue divestment of these products.
