Bradley Pharmaceuticals to be Bought by Nycomed for $20/Share

FAIRFIELD, N.J., Oct. 30 -- Bradley Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced today that it has entered into a definitive merger agreement with Nycomed US Inc., a subsidiary of Nycomed S.C.A., SICAR, pursuant to which all outstanding shares of the Company will be converted into $20.00 per share in cash, which represents a premium of 25% over the closing price of $16.00 on October 29, 2007. The transaction implies a fully diluted equity value for Bradley of approximately $346 million.

On May 29, 2007, Bradley's Board of Directors announced that it had formed a special committee of independent directors to consider the Company's strategic alternatives, including responding to a proposal from Daniel Glassman, founder, director, President and CEO of the Company and the holder of nearly all of the Company's Class B common stock, to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Bradley.

Since May 29th, the Special Committee, advised by independent financial and legal advisors, engaged in an extensive auction process. Based on the recommendation of the Special Committee, the Board of Directors of Bradley approved the merger agreement and recommended that Bradley's stockholders vote in favor of the merger agreement. Mr. Glassman, also a director, did not participate in the Board's consideration and approval of the merger agreement.

The transaction is conditioned on receipt of approval by holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Bradley's common stock and Class B common stock, voting together as one class. The transaction is also subject to certain regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. There is no financing condition, and the obligations of Nycomed US are guaranteed by Nycomed S.C.A., SICAR. The transaction is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2008.

Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. acted as financial advisor to the Special Committee. Morgan Stanley acted as financial advisor to Nycomed.

Seth W. Hamot, non-Executive Chairman of the Board of Bradley, said: "We are pleased that Nycomed will acquire Bradley. The auction process was thorough and our board believes that this transaction is in the best interests of our stockholders."

Hakan Bjorklund, Chief Executive Officer of Nycomed, said: "The acquisition of Bradley provides us with a unique opportunity to strengthen our dermatology expertise in the US with successful products and capabilities that match ours perfectly. The acquisition enables us to gain critical mass in the dermatology market and provides significant momentum for further add-on investments."

Paul McGarty, Chief Executive Officer of Nycomed US, added: "This brings together the strengths of both companies with the objective of creating a leading specialty pharmaceutical player in dermatology."
