Baron Funds Comments on Revance Therapeutics Inc

Revance Therapeutics, Inc. (RVNC), exemplifies the Fund’s investments in biotechnology. Revance’s initial product is a gel that the company is positioning as the first FDA-approved non-injectable form of Botox. We think many patients and doctors will prefer the gel over injectable Botox. In addition, its market is large and growing, especially internationally. (Allergan, which derives 80% of its revenue from sales of Botox, recently rejected a $53 billion takeover offer.) Product launch is scheduled for 2017 or earlier, and we expect that over time, Revance will capture 20-25% of the market.
