French pharmaceutical major Sanofi SA said Wednesday that it has
entered into a definitive agreement to acquire U.S.-based
biopharmaceutical company Kadmon Holdings Inc.
Sanofi said that holders of Kadmon common stock will receive
$9.50 a share in cash, representing a total equity value of about
$1.9 billion on a fully diluted basis.
The company said that the acquisition supports its strategy to
strengthen growth in its transplant business and to continue to
expand its general medicines core assets. As a result, Sanofi said
it will immediately add Rezurock--a drug used in the treatment of
post-transplant graft-versus-host disease--to its transplant
portfolio.
Sanofi said it plans to finance the transaction in cash, and
that it expects to close it in the fourth quarter of 2021, pending
customary closing conditions.
