Aaron Davenport, managing director at SK Capital, says Apotex is a dynamic, entrepreneurial company with a strong track record of success, underpinned by its diversified product portfolio, robust pipeline of new launches and iconic brand.

Apotex employs nearly 8,000 people around the world in manufacturing, research and development and commercial operations.

Sherman founded the company in 1974.

It operates in more than 45 countries, with a significant presence in Canada, the United States, Mexico and India.

The deal is subject to customary regulatory conditions.

Sherman and his wife, Honey, were found dead inside their Toronto home on Dec. 15, 2017.

No arrests have been made.
