Bayer offers $2.4B in cash for Algeta (AKGZF), a 27% premium to yesterday’s close:

Algeta has not (yet) accepted the offer.

Algeta developed the cancer radiotherapy, Xofigo and has co-marketing rights with Bayer in the US; in the rest of the world, Bayer pays Algeta a royalty on sales.

Xofigo has had a slow sales ramp since its May 2013 FDA approval, as detailed in #msg-91684833. (In the EU, Xofigo was approved by the CHMP in Sep 2013, but it is not formally cleared for marketing.)
