Elanco Animal Health Inc. (ELAN) Monday said it agreed to sell Osurnia, a treatment for otitis externa in dogs, to Dechra Pharmaceuticals PLC (DPH.LN) for $135 million in cash as part of its efforts to gain regulatory clearance for its $7.6 billion acquisition of Bayer AG's (BAYN.XE) animal-health business.

Elanco said it is making solid progress in its talks with regulatory authorities to resolve antitrust concerns related to the acquisition, adding that it expects to sell a small portfolio of products across both organizations with total 2018 revenue of $120 million to $140 million.

Elanco said Osurnia had 2018 revenue of $31.2 million, adding that it is in advanced talks discussions with the FTC and EU Commission on the divestiture of the remaining assets in those jurisdictions.

Elanco said the sale of Osurnia to Dechra, a U.K. veterinary pharmaceuticals company, is contingent on regulatory approval of the Bayer deal.
