The transaction will be financed by debt financing led by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., with participation from Athyrium Capital Management, LP. US WorldMeds' CEO, Breck Jones, emphasized the company's commitment to advancing these therapies, while Adrian Rawcliffe, CEO of Adaptimmune, highlighted the strategic importance of this transaction for the company and its stakeholders.
