Shares of Hong Kong-listed biotech company Genor Biopharma Holdings Ltd (06998.HK) skyrocketed by 87.88% on Monday, closing at HK$xx.xx per share. The massive surge in stock price comes after the company announced a merger agreement with Edding Group Company on September 13, 2024.
Under the terms of the agreement, Genor Biopharma will acquire Edding Group Company through a share-for-share transaction. The consideration for the proposed merger will be settled entirely through the issuance of new Genor Biopharma shares, known as "consideration shares." Genor Biopharma's subsidiary, GenEdd, will be merged into Edding Group Company as part of the deal.
Analysts suggest that the market has responded positively to the merger news, viewing it as a strategic move for Genor Biopharma to expand its business and product portfolio. Edding Group Company is a well-established player in the pharmaceutical industry, and the combination of the two companies could create synergies and unlock new growth opportunities.
