The transaction, which values Avanir at approximately $3.5 billion, has been unanimously approved by the boards of directors of both companies. Otsuka will launch a tender offer within ten business days to purchase all outstanding shares of Avanir.

The buyout price is a modest 13% premium to AVNR’s closing price yesterday.
