Eli Lilly said Thursday it would acquire Sigilon Therapeutics in
a cash deal with additional contingent value rights.
The pharmaceutical company said it expected the deal to acquire
Sigilon for $14.92 per share in cash to close in the third quarter
of 2023. In the deal, shareholders of Sigilon may also receive up
to $111.64 per share in cash if certain conditions are met, such as
the use of Sigilon treatments in human subjects and the receival of
regulatory approvals.
The deal is worth a total of up to $309.6 million, excluding
shares of Sigilon currently held by Lilly.
Sigilon shares more than quadrupled in pre-market trading
Thursday after the announcement. The stock rose 369% to $18.31,
after falling 0.8% in Wednesday trading. Shares are still down 12%
year to date.
Lilly said the two companies had collaborated since 2018 to
develop encapsulated cell therapies, including SIG-002 to treat
type 1 diabetes.
The companies said the Sigilon board unanimously recommended
shareholders tender their shares.
