Purchases Spectrum Pharmaceuticals in an all-stock transaction that adds ROLVEDON to its product portfolio - despite the negative market reaction to the news, Hamed Khorsand is constructive on the deal as it diversifies ASRT's product portfolio and creates a larger organisation that can benefit from further M&A.
