Ropes & Gray Advised Teva Pharmaceuticals in Proposed Acquisition of Novel Neuroscience Asset from BioXcel Therapeutics
Ropes & Gray represented Teva Pharmaceuticals in its proposed acquisition of certain neuroscience assets from BioXcel Therapeutics, Inc. The transaction was announced on August 28.
Teva is acquiring the assets out of BioxCel's chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. Teva is serving as the "stalking horse bidder" in the court-supervised sale process.
Under the terms of the agreement,Teva would acquire worldwide rights to dexmedetomidine sublingual film--a novel, orally dissolving formulation currently under FDA review for at-home use in the acute treatment of agitation associated with schizophrenia or bipolar I or II disorder in adults--for an upfront payment of $57.5 million and up to an additional $67.5 million in contingent payments tied to FDA approval timing and sales milestones.

If approved, BXCL501 could become the first FDA-approved at-home treatment for this condition.

PPG completes COLORFUL COMMUNITIES project at school for children with special educational needs in Slovenia
NOVO MESTO, Slovenia - PPG (NYSE: PPG) today announced the completion of a COLORFUL COMMUNITIES(R) project at Osnovna sola Dragotina Ketteja, a primary school for children with special educational needs in Novo Mesto, Slovenia. The project brought together more than 50 volunteers from PPG, the school, local community and partner companies to revitalize interior spaces at the school.
PPGprovided a grant of $71,000 (62,000 euros) to support the project, including approximately 265 gallons (1,000 liters) of SIGMA COATINGS(TM) paints by PPG. Products include Sigma Coatings Contour Aqua PU Gloss paint, a premium scratch-resistant waterborne enamel designed for wooden and metal surfaces, and Sigma Coatings Sigmatex Superlatex, an emulsion paint with a durable gloss finish.
With the support of a professional painting contractor, volunteers repainted approximately 6,000 square meters of corridors, classrooms and shared spaces. The project included surface preparation, wall repairs and repainting, as well as the refurbishment of door frames, wooden surfaces, railings and other interior elements.
Topdom, one of Slovenia's leading suppliers of roofing systems, construction materials, facade solution, and insulation products, helped bring the project to life through a donation of painting tools and protective supplies. The company is a local distributor of PPG brands, including Sigma Coatings and GORI(TM).
"This project has transformed our school environment into a brighter, more welcoming and supportive place for our students and staff," said Vida Marolt, principal of Osnovna sola Dragotina Ketteja. "The refreshed interiors will contribute to a more pleasant learning environment while supporting the well-being, confidence and development of our students. We are grateful to PPG, Topdom and all the volunteers whose dedication and teamwork made this meaningful improvement possible."
Osnovna sola Dragotina Ketteja supports pupils with developmental, cognitive and learning challenges through adapted educational programs and a structured environment tailored to individual abilities. Its approach focuses on building independence, strengthening social skills and creating an inclusive atmosphere where students can develop with confidence. The project is expected to positively impact more than 500 students, teachers and staff members.
The refreshed interiors have been designed to improve durability, hygiene and the overall visual quality of the school environment, featuring a color scheme combining bright white surfaces, warm accent tones and muted natural green details to create a balanced and supportive atmosphere tailored to the needs of students with special educational needs.
"At PPG, we believe that thoughtfully designed environments can have a positive impact on learning, well-being and community connection," said Dejan Stepanovski, PPG Optima Solutions site manager, Automotive OEM Coatings. "We are proud to work alongside our partners and volunteers to support Osnovna sola Dragotina Ketteja and help create spaces that will serve students, teachers and staff for years to come. This project demonstrates what can be achieved when businesses, schools and communities come together to make a lasting difference."
The Colorful Communities program, PPG's signature initiative for supporting communities, aims to protect and beautify the neighborhoods where PPG operates around the world. Through the program, PPG's committed volunteers contribute their time and PPG paint products to help transform community assets - from painting classrooms to bringing color to a maternity ward and redesigning a playground. Since 2015, PPG has completed over 635 Colorful Communities projects, impacting more than 10.3 million people in over 50 countries.
PPG's global community engagement efforts and the PPG Foundation aim to bring color and brightness to PPG communities around the world. We invested $18.1 million in 2025, supporting 400+ organizations across nearly 30 countries. By investing in educational opportunities, we help grow tomorrow's STEM innovators and skilled workforce in fields related to coatings and manufacturing. Plus, we empower PPG employees to multiply their impact for causes that are important to them by supporting their volunteer efforts and charitable giving.

The company combines AI-enriched detection, hardware acceleration, and SOC-led operations to deliver scalable, low-latency, and high-performance mitigation capabilities across on-premises, hybrid, cloud, and edge environments.
"This recognition reflects the trust our customers place in us worldwide, and the discipline that keeps NSFOCUS adapting its anti-DDoS defenses to every shift in the threat landscape. Resilient protection isn't a single technology -- it's the commitment to evolve alongside the attacks our customers face." said Richard Zhao, COO of International Business at NSFOCUS.
NSFOCUS's unwavering commitment to the customer experience further strengthens its market position. Through structured onboarding, transparent deployment methodologies, standardized operational workflows, and around-the-clock SOC monitoring, the company consistently delivers predictable and resilient protection during real-world DDoS incidents. Its partner-led delivery model, localized support capabilities, and closed-loop feedback processes have enabled NSFOCUS to build long-term customer trust across telecommunications, financial services, cloud providers, gaming, and enterprise sectors worldwide.
