Merck & Co. (MRK) on Thursday said it agreed to buy clinical-stage immunotherapy company Immune Design Corp. (IMDZ) for $5.85 a share in cash, or about $300 million.
The purchase price is more than quadruple Immune Design's Wednesday closing price of $1.42.
Merck expects to complete the acquisition, which the Kenilworth, N.J., drug maker said bolsters its capabilities in vaccine development for infectious diseases and cancer, early in the second quarter.
Shares of Seattle-based Immune Design surged to $5.82 in premarket trading Thursday.
