Novo Holdings, a company owned by Novo Nordisk Foundation, has agreed to acquire Catalent in a $16.5 billion all-cash deal. The acquisition values Catalent at $63.50 per share, representing a 16.5% premium to its closing price on February 2, 2024. Catalent will become a private company, and its shares will cease trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Novo Holdings plans to sell three of Catalent's fill/finish sites and related assets to Novo Nordisk following the merger. Catalent's president and CEO, Alessandro Maselli, expressed excitement about the merger, highlighting Catalent's commitment to innovation in healthcare and expecting the transaction to accelerate investment in the business and enhance its offerings to pharmaceutical and biotech customers. Novo Nordisk, in a deal with its parent company Novo Holdings, will pay $11 billion to acquire the fill-finish sites located in Anagni (Italy), Brussels (Belgium), and Bloomington (Indiana, US). Catalent, the current main supplier of "fill and finish" services, handles packaging and filling tasks for injection pens. However, with this deal, these sites will exclusively serve Novo Nordisk, consolidating the pharmaceutical company's control over its drug delivery processes.

For adjacent markets, Novo Nordisk's recent acquisition of Catalent Pharma Solutions CDMO is a game-changer. While the deal creates greater reliance on a competitor and subsidizes development for Novo, it may improve the services and assets available to sponsors. However, given the unique competitive advantage Novo enjoys, it's unlikely that other companies will follow suit. Nonetheless, this deal will accelerate a growing trend in sponsor organizations towards risk management and partnership agility, catalyzed by the pandemic's impact on pharmaceutical supply chains. The response has been to diversify contractors or create greater readiness and flexibility in case of a shift between CDMOs. #CDMO #acquisition #mergersandacquisitions #whatdoesitmean #celltherapy #genetherapy #cellandgenetherapy #advancedtherapies #biotech #biotechnology #pharmaceutical #pharma #manufacturing #outsourcingservices #supplychain #riskmanagement #partnerships #lifesciences #diversification Novo Holdings #financingavailable

We've all heard the Catalent Pharma Solutions news. Novo Holdings, the parent company to Novo Nordisk, announced a deal to acquire Catalent, the global #CDMO, at a value of $16.5B. In the same breath, Novo Holdings announced they will sell three sites directly to Novo Nordisk, implying that the rest of the assets of the company will continue to operate as a stand-alone CDMO. This article by Clarkston Consulting's Evan Shirley and Janel F. unpacks the #acquisition, discussing questions such as “what does it mean for customers?” and “does this deal reshape the CDMO market?” #cellandgenetherapy #cgt #mergersandacquisitions https://lnkd.in/ebgqpGzy

Pretty big shakeup in the CGT manufacturing space with this purchase of Catalent by Novo Holdings. Equally important is the sale of 3 fill and finish sites to Novo Nordisk to expand on Ozempic/Wegovy production. This is likely to have an impact on other pharmas (including Moderna) who are currently using these sites for their fill and finish needs. #CDMOs #fillfinish #mergersandacquisitions #cellandgenetherapy https://lnkd.in/d3TTDJG4

On September 18, Pharmanovia announced the acquisition of 11 central nervous system (CNS) branded pharma products from Sanofi. This follows two similar divestments from Sanofi last year when it sold 17 products to Neuraxpharm and returned the rights to Libtayo® to Regeneron. For Pharmanovia, this acquisition shows a continued execution of its existing legacy brand play book. #BournePartners #MergersAndAcquisitions #DealProfile #Pharma #Healthcare #InvestmentBanking
