Investigation into bluebird bio’s Proposed Sale: What Does It Mean for Shareholders and the World?
New Orleans, LA – In a recent business development, former Attorney General of Louisiana Charles C. Foti, Jr., Esq. and the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (KSF) have announced that they are investigating the proposed sale of bluebird bio, Inc. (BLUE) to The Carlyle Group and SK Capital Partners, LP. Here’s a closer look at the deal and its potential implications.
The Proposed Sale
Under the terms of the agreement, bluebird shareholders will receive $3.00 per share in cash and a contingent value right per share. This contingent value right entitles the holder to a payment of $6.84 in cash per contingent value right if bluebird’s current or future products, including LentiGlobin and Zynteglo, receive regulatory approval in the European Union (EU) and certain other territories. The total transaction value is estimated to be approximately $4.3 billion.
Impact on Shareholders
The proposed sale comes as bluebird bio’s stock price has seen a significant decline in recent months. Some investors may view this as an opportunity to cash out at a higher price than the current market value. However, others may choose to hold onto their shares, hoping for a higher return if the contingent value rights are triggered. It’s essential for all shareholders to carefully consider their options and consult with their financial advisors before making any decisions.
