FDA Approves Two Teva Drugs Jerusalem (JPFS) — The United States Food and Drug Adminis- tration has given approval for Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. to market and sell its drugs for Wilson's and Parkinson's dis- ease, the company said. The FDA approved Teva's Galzin drug, an original drug de- signed to treat people suffering from Wilson's disease, a rare, in- herited disorder that causes cop- per to accumulate in the liver and can lead to neurological disorders and death. Galzin is Teva's second original drug to receive FDA approval. Co- paxone, Teva's multiple sclero- sis drug, received approval at the end of 1996. The FDA also approved Se- legiline, a generic version of El- depryl, which treats Parkinson's disease, a progressive nervous dis- order that causes muscle tremors and stilted movement in the el- derly. Africa Israel Invests Overseas Jerusalem (JPFS) —Africa Israel intends to soon launch its first- ever overseas investments, in real estate and industry, in eastern Europe and Mediterranean coun- tries, the holding company's new owner and chairman Lev Levayev announced. Several months ago diamond merchant Mr. Levayev won a ten- der to purchase a 54 percent con- trolling stake in Africa Israel (excluding the insurance holdings) for $186 million. Bank Leumi was the seller. Heineken Buys Tempo Stock Jerusalem (JPFS) —Dutch-based brewer Heineken has received an option to purchase 42.5 percent of Tempo Beer Industries for $42.1 million, Tempo informed the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. Tempo is one of Israel's leading beverage manufacturers and a market leader in the beer field. The company, which had a sales turnover of about $500 mil- lion last year, holds an exclusive marketing concession for Heineken beers in Israel and is also a major supplier of soft drinks, including Pepsi. According to the agreement, Moshe Podhorzer, one of the con- trolling shareholders, has grant- ed Heineken or members of the Bar-Bornstein Group, which con- trol Tempo, an option to purchase his shares in the local beer pro- ducer. The agreement puts an end to the three-year dispute between the controlling shareholders in Tempo, which started after com- pany founder Moshe Bornstein died. Under the agreement, Mr. Pod- horzer's shares will eventually be sold to Heineken, even if the Bar- Bornstein Group exercises its op- tion. Exercise of the option by the Bar family is subject to the fami- ly's sale of the shares to Heineken within 90 days, as of Feb. 3, 1997. Sources close to the company ex- pect Tempo to be split into two companies after Heineken turns into a controlling shareholder. The first company will focus on the beer market, while the other will be active in the soft drinks mar- ket, specifically Pepsi. Pepsi International holds an option to acquire 50 percent of Tempo's soft . drink company's shares. Market sources expect Pepsi to exercise its option after the Heineken-Podhorzer deal is closed. ■•■
