The merging gold rush seems to be getting even crazier. Now Genzyme has extended their offer to buy AnorMED.

This is because Millenium has trumped Genzymes offer and there seems to be a bidding war going on for AnorMED.
Millennium offer beats Genzyme’s

And Anormed’s board is supporting Millenium’s bid whereas Genzyme was a attempted hostile acquisition.

So this is definitely one to keep an eye on. I really think that the price for AnorMED is going to be too high and whoever ends up with them, will end up paying too much. Just my guess but a lot depends on how much risk the acquirer wants to take on in regards to the profitability of MOZOBIL, a stem cell mobilizer which stimulates stems cells out of the bone marrow and into the blood in circulating.
