NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Two days ago a fund controlled by billionaire financier
George Soros and his associates sold its entire 1.7 million share stake in
Adams Respiratory Therapeutics (ARXT), the specialty pharmaceutical company and
maker of the cold and flu medicine Mucinex, for about $44 million, The New York
Post reported in its Thursday editions.
The fund, Perseus-Soros Biopharmaceutical Fund, was one of the company's
largest and longest investors, the paper added.
A spokeswoman for Adams said Soros was an original venture-capital backer of
the company and has been steadily divesting his stake since the company went
public in 2005, adding that that is part of the normal investing cycle of any
venture-capital fund.
