BMO Capital analyst David Maris believes that Mylan (MYL) shareholders' vote in favor of Mylan's proposed takeover of Perrigo (PRGO) and authorizing the company to issue shares was the outcome expected by most investors and will not come as a surprise to the market. Maris noted that he expects Perrigo shares will rise in the coming days amid speculation on its next move and thinks the Mylan bid significantly undervalues the company, which he estimates is worth $246 per share on a stand-alone basis. The firm keeps an Outperform rating on Perrigo and a Market Perform rating on Mylan.

Perrigo announced that pharmaceutical company Esteve Healthcare has signed a binding offer to acquire Perrigo's HRA Pharma Rare Diseases business for a total consideration of up to EUR 275M, consisting of an upfront cash payment of EUR 190M and up to EUR 85M in potential earnout payments based on the Rare Diseases business achieving certain sales milestones. Following the information and consultation process with HRA Pharma Works Council in France, Perrigo would be able to exercise the put option granted by Esteve and enter into a definitive agreement with Esteve for the sale of the Rare Diseases business. The proposed final transaction is expected to close during the third quarter of 2024, subject to the satisfaction of the HRA Works Council consultation and customary closing conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals.
