Apotex, Barry Sherman's 'fifth child,' sold to American buyer (Toronto Star)

The company founded in 1974, was sold on Wednesday to a New York private equity firm for an undisclosed amount.

Sherman would be dead within a couple of hours of sending the email to his plant in India. The email he sent the night he died showed how he was still invested in the most minute details of his fifth child. [conspired](https://www.thestar.com/news/investigations/2021/10/15/barry-shermans-apotex-has-paid-100-million-to-answer-us-price-fixing-allegations-and-agreed-to-help-investigate-competitors.html) with competitors to hike the prices of popular drugs. Shortly before his death, Sherman was facing a court order to pay $580 million to a brand name company from a gamble he lost (a settlement was arrived at following his death). He would sometimes order the mass production of a generic drug while awaiting a court ruling that would validate his argument (and Sherman often prepared the legal argument, his lawyers told the Star). In an anteroom off his office at Apotex he had a mini lab where he would work on the next drug for Apotex, trying to devise a way to defeat the patent given to the brand name company that actually came up with the drug. Sherman’s father was the president of a zipper manufacturing company and died when Sherman was ten years old. It was on to the University of Toronto and then the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he got both a masters and a Ph.D. Despite fears of teachers that Sherman was “slow” he proved them wrong by leading Ontario high school students in academic honours the year he graduated. “I like to make money and give it away,” Sherman would say when people asked what got him out of bed in the morning. [Apotex](https://www.thestar.com/topic.apotex.html), the company he founded in 1974, was sold to a New York private equity firm for an undisclosed amount. SK Capital, the New York firm, says that it is delighted to “have the opportunity to support” a “proudly Canadian” firm that delivers “high quality, affordable medicines.” SK Capital has a large portfolio of companies, many of them suppliers of chemicals to pharmaceutical companies.
