Mubadala announces reinvestment in PCI Pharma Services
Mubadala Investment Company, the Abu Dhabi-based sovereign investor, said on Monday it has entered into an agreement to make a significant reinvestment in PCI Pharma Services, a global contract development and manufacturing organisation (CDMO) focused on biotherapies.
The deal is part of a strategic transaction co-led by Bain Capital and existing lead investor Kohlberg. Partners Group will also remain involved with a minority investment, Mubadala said in a statement.
Mubadala first invested in
PCI has been expanding its presence in pharma
Over the past five years,
'PCI Pharma Services has been one of our top-performing healthcare investments and is a testament to what can be achieved when long-term active investors partner with strong management teams,' said Camilla Languille, co-CEO of Private Equity at Mubadala.
'Our team will continue to focus on similar opportunities in the healthcare space as the sustained outsourcing of mission-critical but non-core activities by pharma companies aligns with our commitment to address global unmet clinical needs, reduce the cost of care to the system, and enable greater access,' she added.
Mubadala investment reflects PCI's potential
Mina Hamoodi, head of Healthcare at Mubadala, said: 'Our reinvestment in PCI reflects our deep conviction in the company's mission, leadership, and long-term potential. At this important juncture, we are delighted to welcome Bain Capital, an industry-leading healthcare investor with deep expertise in growing pharma services businesses, as a partner.'
She added that Mubadala looks forward to partnering with Bain and Kohlberg and working closely with PCI's management as the company enters its 'next chapter of accelerated growth'.
The new investment will support both organic and inorganic expansion, including growth in sterile fill-finish injectables, high-potency drug manufacturing, and specialised therapies.
The company also plans continued investment in the United States to strengthen domestic pharmaceutical manufacturing and supply chain resilience.

Trump Media buys $2 billion in Bitcoin continuing crypto boom
Trump Media has accumulated roughly $2 billion in Bitcoin and related securities as part of its previously announced Bitcoin Treasury Plan, the company announced on Monday. The holdings now account for about two thirds of Trump Media's approximately $3 billion in liquid assets, it said. The company also said about $300 million in additional capital was allocated to an options acquisition strategy for related securities. Trump Media, which owns the Truth Social media platform, said it plans to continue purchasing Bitcoin and related assets and convert its options into spot Bitcoin, depending on market conditions. The company will use the assets to potentially 'acquire additional crypto assets', it said. 'We're rigorously implementing our publicly announced strategy and fulfilling our Bitcoin Treasury Plan,' Trump Media president Devin Nunes said. 'These assets help ensure our company's financial freedom, help protect us against discrimination by financial institutions, and will create synergies with the utility token we're planning to introduce across the Truth Social ecosphere.' Shares in Trump Media rose 5.46 per cent to $19.67 per share following the announcement. The US President Donald Trump's media company had said in May that it plans to raise $2.5 billion to establish a Bitcoin treasury. The price of Bitcoin has surged since Mr Trump took office in January. The cryptocurrency climbed above $123,000 for the first time last week in anticipation of a slate of crypto-friendly bills being passed by Congress. The price of Bitcoin was trading 0.44 per cent higher at $118,958.86 as of 6.30pm UAE time. Bitcoin's gains extended to crypto-linked stocks on Monday, with shares in the crypto exchange Coinbase Global rising more than 3 per cent to $432.50. Circle Internet Group gained 0.4 per cent. The price of Ethereum also gained 1.75 per cent to $3,823.45. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite both hit new intraday highs after rising 0.6 and 0.7 per cent, respectively. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.54 per cent, or 241.03 points, to 44,583.22. Leading industry optimism last week was the signing of the Genius Act, which would allow private companies to issue stablecoins. The ruling also establishes a regulatory framework for the stablecoin market. The week, which has been dubbed 'crypto week' by Republicans, marked the culmination of Washington's embracing of an industry that had clashed with former president Joe Biden's administration. 'The signing of the Genius Act into law marks an important milestone in the effort to bring regulatory clarity to crypto,' the Securities and Exchange Commission commissioner Hester Peirce said in a statement at the time. Ms Pierce also said the act would help the SEC give guidance on how registrants can use payment stablecoins. World Liberty Financial, a crypto start-up backed by Mr Trump, previously launched its own dollar-pegged stablecoin with BitGo. The House of Representatives last week also passed the Clarity Act, which is designed to help establish the roles of the SEC and Commodities Futures Trading Commission in overseeing crypto assets. The bill will now be considered in the Senate. The House also passed the CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act, which blocks the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency (CBDC) without congressional approval. Unlike cryptocurrencies, a CBDC is issued and supported by a central bank. The House Financial Services Committee chairman French Hill said the bill 'safeguards the privacy of Americans by prohibiting the creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency in the United States'.

India's Titan to acquire majority stake in Dubai's Damas for over Dh1 billion
India's Titan Company on Monday said it would acquire a majority stake in UAE's Damas LLC, the current holding company for Damas jewellery business in GCC countries, from Mannai Corporation for an enterprise value of Dh1.038 billion. Titan Holdings will hold 67 per cent of the equity share capital and voting rights in Damas. It hopes to complete acquisition by January 31, 2026. It will have the right to acquire the remaining 33 per cent stake after December 31, 2029, it said in a statement to the National Stock Exchange, where it is listed. The acquisition will facilitate the fashion accessories manufacturer's expansion across six GCC countries. Founded in 1907 in Dubai, Damas has a network presence of 146 stores across GCC. Mannai Corporation is a publicly listed company headquartered in Qatar with activities mainly focused on the business-to-business segment based on trade and IT services. 'After successfully establishing Tanishq in GCC countries and the USA, our ambition for a global jewellery play is moving to the next stage. With the Damas acquisition, Titan Company is stepping out from its diaspora focus into other nationalities and ethnicities,' said CK Venkataraman, managing director of Titan. 'The acquisition not only creates a significant new global opportunity for Titan, but also enhances Titan's overall position in the jewellery market in GCC countries and brings in multiple synergy benefits in talent, retail networks and supply chain,' Venkataraman said. Alekh Grewal, group CEO of Mannai Corporation, said Damas became a subsidiary of Mannai in 2012, and the time has come for investment in the next phase of its expansion in the region. 'We are confident that the combination of Damas and Titan will drive Damas in the next chapter of its growth trajectory in the GCC. Mannai will continue to own a minority stake in Damas for the next four years as growth plans for Damas are taken forward. It is intended that the proceeds of the sale transaction will be deployed by Mannai to strengthen its resources in support of further expansion of its core trade and IT services businesses, in addition to reducing the group debt,' said Grewal. As per the proposed transaction, Signature Jewellery Holding Limited, a DIFC company, will become a holding company after acquiring the fully-paid shares of Damas LLC and its subsidiaries. Damas recorded a turnover of Dh1.461 billion in 2024. The acquisition would be subject to certain conditions and regulatory requirements.
