AstraZeneca is set to announce that it is willing to pay $8 billion for the acquisition of its rights to AstraZeneca's heartburn drug Nexium in the United States.
The company is now willing to pay $8 billion for the acquisition of AstraZeneca's rights to Nexium from its US-based subsidiary in the United States.
The acquisition is part of a deal that AstraZeneca is in discussions with the US Department of Justice and the European Union to settle for $2 billion, according to documents released Monday by an independent securities investigation firm.
In the document, the company disclosed that it was working with the Department of Justice and the European Union to resolve allegations that AstraZeneca and other drugmakers had colluded to fix the price of Nexium for the treatment of ulcers. AstraZeneca said in a statement that the alleged agreement was "confidential and non-negotiable."
The company has filed for the return of all shares of AstraZeneca to the US government, with a payment of $3 billion, or $5 per share, in cash.
Nexium is AstraZeneca's second-biggest selling product since 2001, when it was acquired by the drugmaker and sold to AstraZeneca.
In February, AstraZeneca said it will pay $1 billion to resolve allegations that the drugmaker colluded with other drugmakers to fix the price of Nexium. Nexium is AstraZeneca's fifth-biggest selling drug since 2001.
AstraZeneca said Monday that it has received $2.3 billion from the government in the United States to settle allegations that the company colluded to fix the price of Nexium.
AstraZeneca will continue to make payments to the government for its legal and corporate responsibilities.
