Sigma drops legal proceeding over dispute

Sigma Healthcare will drop legal proceedings against My Chemist/ Chemist Warehouse Group after the two parties agreed to enter formal negotiations.

Sigma Healthcare is dropping legal proceedings against My Chemist/ Chemist Warehouse Group over an alleged breach of a supply agreement, after the two parties agreed to enter formal negotiations to resolve the dispute.

The pharmaceuticals company said if a commercial resolution is not reached the parties have agreed to confidential and binding mediation and arbitration.

Sigma commenced legal proceedings after alleging in May that the My Chemist/ Chemist Warehouse Group was looking to obtain certain products from another wholesaler, in breach of the existing supply agreement, sparking a slide in Sigma shares.
