In the tender offer, approximately 42,811,957 shares of Constellation were properly tendered and not lawfully withdrawn, representing roughly 89 percent of MOR’s outstanding shares at the time of the tender offer’s expiration. All legally tendered and not legitimately withdrawn shares have been accepted for payment in line with the provisions of the merger agreement between Constellation, MorphoSys, and MorphoSys Development Inc. MorphoSys will quickly complete its purchase of Constellation by merging MorphoSys Development Inc. with and into Constellation in a second stage, resulting in Constellation continuing to exist as an indirect fully owned subsidiary of MorphoSys.
The merger is anticipated to be completed today, before the opening of trading on the NASDAQ market in the United States, and Constellation shares will be delisted from the NASDAQ Global Select Market. The transaction’s overall stock value is estimated to be around $1.7 billion.
