Business Wire
Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (NYSE: BMY) announced today that it
has completed its previously announced acquisition of ZymoGenetics,
Inc. (NASDAQ: ZGEN). As a result of the transaction, ZymoGenetics
has become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bristol-Myers Squibb.
Bristol-Myers Squibb initiated on September 10, 2010, a cash
tender offer to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock of
ZymoGenetics for $9.75 per share. The tender offer period expired
at midnight (New York City time) on October 7, 2010, and was not
extended. Based on information provided by the Depositary to
Parent, as of the expiration of the Offer, approximately 82,605,529
shares were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the
expiration of the Offer, representing approximately 94.9% of the
ZymoGenetics shares outstanding. As of the close of business on
October 11, 2010, approximately 981,756 shares remained subject to
guaranteed delivery procedures.
Today, Bristol-Myers Squibb acquired all of the remaining
outstanding shares of ZymoGenetics common stock by means of a
“short form merger” in which all such shares were converted into
the right to receive $9.75 per share, in cash and without interest,
less any required withholding taxes. Bristol-Myers Squibb intends
to delist and de-register ZymoGenetics common stock as promptly as
practicable following the effective time of the merger.
This press release is neither an offer to purchase nor a
solicitation of an offer to sell shares of ZymoGenetics.
