Business Wire
Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Ironwood”) (Nasdaq: IRWD), a
GI-focused healthcare company, today announced the successful
completion of the squeeze-out merger under Swiss law (the
“Squeeze-Out Merger”) pursuant to which VectivBio Holding AG
(“VectivBio”) has been merged with and into Ironwood
Pharmaceuticals GmbH (“Merger Sub”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Ironwood organized under the laws of Switzerland. As a result of
the Squeeze-Out Merger, all remaining outstanding ordinary shares
of VectivBio not previously purchased by Ironwood have been
cancelled and converted into the right to receive $17.00 per share
in cash, subject to any applicable withholding taxes. The
Squeeze-Out Merger was approved by shareholders of VectivBio at the
extraordinary general meeting held on November 28, 2023.
As previously announced, Ironwood successfully completed a
tender offer on June 29, 2023 to purchase an aggregate of
approximately 97.5 percent of the outstanding Shares (the “Tender
Offer”). Ironwood accepted for payment and promptly paid for all
such Shares that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in
accordance with the terms of the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule
TO filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May
31, 2023, as amended. Following the Tender Offer, Ironwood caused
VectivBio to voluntarily delist its shares from Nasdaq.
