Mirati (MRTX) M&A Case
Bristol-Myers said it would acquire Mirati for $58.00 in cash per share plus $12.00 CVR.
Before the deal, analyst targets were higher than the offered price.
The lawsuit alleges that the proposed $MRTX sale price undervalues the company.
On October 8, 2023, Bristol-Myers Squibb announced it would acquire Mirati Therapeutics for up to $5.8 billion.
The deal offers Mirati shareholders $58.00 in cash per share, and
Contingent Value Right, which would grant an extra $12.00 in cash if the FDA accepts the NDA of MRTX1719 for specific treatment criteria within seven years post-merger.
Just before the proposed deal, investment banks' targets were higher than the acquisition price, analysts from Barclays forecasted $71, Leerink - $78, and Stifel - $83.
Taking all facts into account, investors have reasons to suspect that this deal underestimates $MRTX's full and fair value.
