Shares of Global Blood Therapeutics Inc. edged higher in
premarket trading Monday after the biopharmaceutical company agreed
to be acquired by Pfizer Inc. in a transaction valued at about $5.4
billion, including assumed debt.
New York-based Pfizer said it would pay $68.50 a share in cash
for Global Blood, a 7.3% premium to Friday's closing price of
$63.84 but more than double its closing price of $33.93 on Aug. 3,
before published reports emerged that potential buyers were
circling the South San Francisco, Calif., company.
Global Blood shares, which ended Friday's session with a gain of
33%, were recently changing hands at $66.36, up 4%.
