Assertio to be acquired in $23.50/share cash tender offer by Zydus
Assertio (ASRT) has agreed to be acquired by Zydus in a cash tender offer of $23.50 per share. Following the offer, the purchaser will merge into Assertio, making it a wholly owned subsidiary. This merger triggers repurchase and enhanced conversion rights under the Convertible Notes indenture, with the parent company waiving the requirement for Assertio to commence a concurrent Note Offer.
