ImmuPharma PLC (LSE AIM: IMM), the specialist drug discovery and development company, is delighted to highlight the announcement issued this morning by Incanthera plc ("Incanthera"), the dermatology and oncology specialist, in which ImmuPharma currently holds a 10.8% shareholding.

Within the announcement, Incanthera announces an update on its commercial skincare deal, announced in December 2023, with Marionnaud (part of the A.S. Watson Group).

Under the terms of the deal, Skin + CELL will be initially launched in c. 100 of Marionnaud's stores in Switzerland and Austria, followed by a planned roll out into the remaining 1,100 European stores, with subsequent anticipated roll outs into major Asian markets.

Incanthera has announced that the first order from Marionnaud has now doubled from 25,000 units to 50,000 units due to the strong demand anticipated by Marionnaud's management and that this first order, on track to be delivered during Q2 2024, will generate c. £2m revenue for Incanthera.
