ARTICLE II TRANSACTION Section 2.01 Strategic Alliance. For the purpose of creating a combined company that can drive considerable growth in global markets, including Japan, the Parties agree to form a strategic business alliance (the "Strategic Business Alliance") among Acquiror and SPI and its Affiliates (collectively, the "Sucampo Group") and the Company, subject to the successful Closing. The Parties intend to achieve the purpose of such Strategic Business Alliance by mutual cooperation in, among others, the following areas: (a) ensuring that the transaction contemplated in this Agreement would provide Sucampo Group with increased revenues—primarily from combining Sucampo Group's existing sales with those from the Company—enhanced profitability, strong cash flow generation and a robust balance sheet and the improved financial strength of SPI as the parent company would also accrue to the benefit of its subsidiaries, which will include the Company after the Closing; (b) ensuring that Sucampo Group and the Company together would have a deeper and broader development pipeline of potential drug candidates in development across four major therapeutic areas—gastroenterology, ophthalmology, autoimmune, and inflammation—and greater resources, both financially and operationally, to maximize these opportunities, and consistent with the Target Company's business strategy, such development pipelines (some of these drug candidates) could be out-licensed to external firms to create even greater value; and 8 (c) ensuring that both Sucampo Group and the Company would have greater opportunity to conduct business development transactions, and through the relationships of the Company and increased presence in the Japanese market, Sucampo Group would gain greater access to the Japanese biotech community and Japan's well-regarded scientific institutions and researchers, and the Company would receive access to Sucampo Group's expertise in identifying, negotiating and managing key alliances.
