Abstract
Five years after getting BioVectra in its acquisition of the drugmaker Questcor, Mallinckrodt is selling the Canadian drug services company to the investment firm H.I.G. Capital for $250 million. The deal was announced a day after Mallinckrodt settled an Ohio opioid addiction case, while others are scheduled to go to trial next month. BioVectra, headquartered in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, began in 1970 as a manufacturer of clinical reagents. Questcor bought it in 2013 for $50 million, and Mallinckrodt acquired Questcor the following year. BioVectra supplies the active pharmaceutical ingredient in Questcor’s H.P. Acthar Gel, a topical hormone treatment for autoimmune diseases. In recent years, BioVectra has expanded a fledgling microbial fermentation business with the purchase of a factory in Windsor, Nova Scotia. It has invested over $60 million in the site and aims to grow biologics to at least 25% of its business. The firm reported sales of $56

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
