“We are thrilled to announce the successful closing of the Paladin acquisition and look forward to continuing this journey as we integrate our organizations. The combination of Knight’s current Canadian business with the Paladin and the Sumitomo portfolios, will add critical mass and change the growth trajectory to place Canada as one of the top revenue contributors over the next two years”, said Samira Sakhia, President and Chief Executive Officer of Knight. “In addition, having closed both Paladin and Sumitomo as well as the revolving line of credit we remain well positioned to continue to transact and execute on our mission to acquire, in-license, develop, and commercialize pharmaceutical products in Latin America and Canada.”
