Exhibit 99.1
FROM: Vanessa
TO: Y-mAbs-All
TIMING: Day after Announcement
SUBJECT: A Note from SERB
Dear Y-mAbs team,
On behalf of the entire SERB team, I wanted to take a moment to reach out to introduce myself and express my excitement for this next chapter together. SERB is a specialty pharmaceutical company with a global presence across Europe, the U.S., the Middle East and Australia. Founded in Paris in 1951, we have grown into a global company with a best-in-class portfolio of treatments for rare emergency medicine, rare diseases, and CBRN Medical Countermeasures.
Having learned more about Y-mAbs through the Due Diligence process, I am tremendously excited for the future of our combined organizations. The story of Y-mAbs is an incredible testament to the importance of rare medicines and is completely aligned with our vision of building a portfolio of critical medicines that improve the standard of care for patients. And I believe you share our values of putting patients first, working together as a team, being accountable and always looking for better ways forward.
Until closing of the transaction, which we expect will occur by the fourth quarter of 2025, we remain separate and independent companies, but we are already thinking through integration alongside your leadership team. We are looking ahead to a bright future together and to build upon the amazing work you all have done.
I hope you all enjoy your summer, and I look forward to speaking with you directly following the close.
Best,
Vanessa Wolfeler,
Chief Executive Officer of SERB Pharmaceuticals
