* GLAXOSMITHKLINE: GlaxoSmithKline GSK.L has agreed in principle to handle the final part of the manufacturing process for up to 60 million doses of Novavax 's NVAX.O COVID-19 vaccine for use in Britain, widening the company's role in the fight against the pandemic. ASTRAZENECA: Canadian health officials said on Monday they would stop offering AstraZeneca's AZN.L COVID-19 vaccine to people under age 55 and require a new analysis of the shot's risks and benefits based on age and gender. IPO: Brazilian energy firm Raizen, a joint venture between Cosan SA CSAN3.SA and Royal Dutch Shell PLC RDSa.L , has chosen four investment banks to manage its initial public offering, raising up to 13 billion reais, four people familiar with the matter said on Monday. GOLD: Gold prices slipped weighed down by a firm U.S. dollar and Treasury yields as expectations of a swift economic turnaround grew with vaccination rates gaining traction.
