UK-listed drugmaker Indivior seeks shareholder nod for US listing
Indivior had, in February, announced its intent to shift its listing by the middle of the year to the U.S., which, it argued, reflected its growth opportunities as its proprietary treatments are U.S.-centred and U.S.-based investors account for nearly 50% of its overall shareholder base.

Indivior also reaffirmed its annual outlook after logging in a 12% net revenue growth in the first quarter, boosted by strong demand for its Sublocade treatment for opioid use disorder.
