Jacobson Pharma (02633) and JBM Healthcare (02161) jointly announced that as the 2020 licensing agreement is set to expire on November 30, 2025, ULFERTS and ULFERTS (Hong Kong) entered into the 2025 ULFERTS Licensing Agreement on October 28, 2025. Under the agreement, ULFERTS has agreed to license part of its factory to ULFERTS (Hong Kong) from December 1, 2025, to January 27, 2028 (inclusive), with a monthly licensing fee of HK$247,000.
ULFERTS Limited is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Jacobson Pharma, while ULFERTS (Hong Kong) Limited is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of JBM Healthcare. Since 2007, ULFERTS has leased the factory from the Science Park for pharmaceutical manufacturing. Under the lease terms, ULFERTS may license certain entities to use the factory with prior written approval from the Science Park.
This licensing arrangement under the 2025 ULFERTS Licensing Agreement enables ULFERTS to generate rental income from unused factory space while providing ULFERTS (Hong Kong) with a suitable manufacturing site. Relocating ULFERTS (Hong Kong)'s existing Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)-compliant facilities would be costly and time-consuming. Therefore, the 2025 agreement allows ULFERTS (Hong Kong) to avoid operational disruptions and relocation expenses.
