A busy day as one of the stocks we hold received a buyout offer from Otsuka Pharmaceuticals (the maker of Abilify) for $3.54 billion or $17.00 per share, in a stock transaction. My initial impression is that Otsuka received a good deal, as they will get a nice pipeline including indications such as agitation / aggression in Alzheimer's patients (phase 3 2015), along with Major Depressive Disorder or (MDD), which is in the early stages of a phase 2 trial. AVNR patents extend out to 2030.
