Sanofi SA (SAN.FR) and Ablynx NV (ABLX.BT) said Monday that the
initial tender offer period for the acquisition of Ablynx has
successfully closed, and that a squeeze-out tender period will
begin later this month.
The French drug company said it will own 95.60% of the
outstanding shares of Ablynx on the settlement date of the offers,
and confirmed the minimum tender condition had been satisfied.
Sanofi said a squeeze-out for the Ablynx securities not tendered
to the offers will begin on May 22 and expire on June 12. Upon
completion of the squeeze-out, all securities of Ablynx will be
delisted.
Sanofi said last January it would acquire nanobody-focused
company Ablynx for 3.9 billion euros ($4.7 billion) in a deal aimed
at expanding its rare blood disorders franchise.
