Closing of the transaction is subject to receipt of certain regulatory approvals, as well as other customary conditions. If the necessary approvals are not obtained within one year, either CSL or Talecris will have the right to terminate the transaction.
Concurrently with execution of the merger agreement, Talecris and CSL have also entered into a separate plasma supply agreement under which CSL will supply Talecris with a significant amount of plasma through 2013, which will help Talecris assure an uninterrupted flow of products to its customers, distributors and patients and will also facilitate Talecris’s efforts to build its plasma supply platform in a measured, quality-compliant manner.
