, ,

On Oct. 1, 2020, Johnson & Johnson announced it had successfully completed its acquisition of Momenta Pharmaceuticals, a company that discovers and develops novel therapies for immune-mediated diseases, in an all cash transaction for approximately $6.5 billion.

Johnson & Johnson’s tender offer for all outstanding shares of Momenta for $52.50 per share expired at the end of the day on September 30, 2020. American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the depositary and paying agent for the tender offer, has advised Johnson & Johnson that approximately 100,595,118 shares of Momenta’s common stock were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the tender offer, representing approximately 79.4% of the outstanding shares of Momenta’s common stock on a fully diluted basis. All of the conditions to the tender offer have been satisfied, and on October 1, 2020, Vigor Sub, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, accepted for payment, and will as promptly as practicable pay for, all shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn in the tender offer.

The acquisition was completed on October 1, 2020 through a merger of Vigor with Momenta in accordance with Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware without a vote of Momenta’s stockholders. Momenta now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson. In connection with the merger, shares of Momenta that were not tendered in the tender offer were acquired by Johnson & Johnson and converted into the right to receive $52.50 per share. As a result of the completion of the merger, Momenta’s common stock was delisted from the NASDAQ Global Select Market.
