Gilead Sciences Inc. on Monday said it agreed to buy Forty Seven Inc. for about $4.9 billion in a deal that boosts its immuno-oncology portfolio.
Gilead said it will pay $95.50 a share in cash for Forty Seven, a nearly 65% premium to Friday's closing price of $58 for the Menlo Park, Calif., clinical-stage immuno-oncology company.
Gilead said the addition of magrolimab, Forty Seven's investigational lead product candidate that is in clinical development for the treatment of several cancers, will strengthen its immuno-oncology research-and-development portfolio.
The Foster City, Calif., biopharmaceutical company said it plans to promptly launch a tender offer for Forty Seven, adding that the offer isn't subject to a financing condition, and that it expects to complete the acquisition in the second quarter.
Shares of Forty Seven surged more than 60% in light premarket trading Monday, while shares of Gilead rose 1.5%.
