Notes to editors
SHIRE PLC
Shire's strategic goal is to become the leading specialty biopharmaceutical
company that focuses on meeting the needs of the specialist physician. Shire
focuses its business on attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD),
human genetic therapies (HGT), gastrointestinal (GI) and renal diseases. The
structure is sufficiently flexible to allow Shire to target new therapeutic
areas to the extent opportunities arise through acquisitions. Shire's
in-licensing, merger and acquisition efforts are focused on products in niche
markets with strong intellectual property protection either in the US or
Europe. Shire believes that a carefully selected portfolio of products with
strategically aligned and relatively small-scale sales forces will deliver
strong results.
