SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Burrill Merchant Banking acted as exclusive financial advisor to Faes Farma (Spain) on its recently-completed commercial partnering of bilastine with the Menarini Group (Italy). Under the terms of the agreement, Faes has licensed bilastine rights in Europe and other regions to Menarini for the treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis.

Bilastine has been assessed in multiple human trials involving 4,000 patients, including two pivotal Phase III trials.

The agreement includes milestone payments and royalties of 10-15% of annual sales in the licensed territories, incorporating the 27 EU member states and 24 additional countries in Eastern Europe, Scandinavia, Central Asia and the Mediterranean region. The Menarini Group is a privately held company headquartered in Florence Italy with 12,000 employees and estimated 2007 turnover of euro 2,500M.
