Shares of OSR Holdings Inc. (OSRH) soared 60% on Thursday, marking their biggest one-day jump in over eight months, as investors welcomed a newly finalized global licensing deal that could bring in up to $815 million in milestone payments.

OSR Holdings signed an agreement with BCM Europe (BCME) to advance its cancer immunotherapy candidate VXM01, an oral treatment targeting VEGFR-2, a protein found on blood vessels that helps control how blood cells grow and survive.

VXM01 has shown promising results in early studies for aggressive cancers such as glioblastoma and pancreatic cancer.

$815M Licensing Deal

Under the agreement, BCME will get exclusive rights to develop, manufacture, and commercialize the drug, while OSR could receive up to $815 million in milestone payments tied to clinical, regulatory, and commercial progress.

BCME, OSR’s largest shareholder, has pledged its nearly 30% stake in the company as collateral to back the milestone payments. OSR will also earn full royalties after BCME recovers its investment.

“This agreement establishes a clear, accountable framework for the development of VXM01. It ensures OSR Holdings shareholders participate directly in value creation, while BCME remains accountable for its financial commitments,” said Peter Hwang, CEO of OSR Holdings.
