AnorMed Agrees To Be Acquired By Genzyme

by @ 11:16 am.  Filed under Pharma News, Pharma

Seemingly the last words on the acquisition of AnorMED has been sounded; Genzyme will acquire them.

Genzyme offer of $13.50 per share ($580 million) was better than Millennium’s bid of $12.00 per share ($515 million). I do think that Millennium may have been the smarter of the two by walking away from the deal although they are entitled to a $19.5 million breakup fee. Genzyme had to up there original order of only $380 million.

The Boston Globe then reported that Millennium is still on the prowl for someone to acquire.

So it seems the merger activity will continue. It will be interesting to see who Millennium has there eye on next.
