Akorn, Inc. Announces First Lyophilized Product Approval For Decatur, IL: IC-Green™ For Injection, USP
Akorn has invested approximately $23 million in a new liquid and lyophilized injectable manufacturing fill line at its Decatur, IL production facility. In December 2007, we announced the successful results of an FDA pre-approval inspection (PAI), allowing us to receive lyophilized product approvals in Decatur, and the approval of IC-Green™ represents a significant milestone event for Akorn.
Arthur S. Przybyl, Akorn's President and Chief Executive Officer stated, "We are very excited to announce the FDA approval of our first Akorn-manufactured lyophilized injectable product. We intend to commercialize our lyophilization manufacturing capabilities by developing an internal ANDA injectable product line and by expanding our contract pharmaceutical manufacturing business segment to include lyophilized injectable products."

Forward-looking statements give our expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts.

In particular, these include statements relating to future steps we may take, prospective products, future performance or results of current and anticipated products, sales efforts, expenses, the outcome of contingencies such as legal proceedings, and financial results.
Any or all of our forward-looking statements here or in other publications may turn out to be wrong. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. Many such factors will be important in determining our actual future results. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed. Our actual results may vary materially, and there are not guarantees about the performance of our stock.
Any forward-looking statements represent our expectations or forecasts only as of the date they were made and should not be relied upon as representing our expectations or forecasts as of any subsequent date.
