MT Newswires Live06-05

Fusion Pharmaceuticals (FUSN) said late Tuesday its $2.4 billion acquisition by an AstraZeneca (AZN) subsidiary was completed.

The deal "marks a major step forward" in AstraZeneca's ambition to transform cancer treatment by replacing traditional regimens of chemotherapy and radiotherapy with more targeted treatments, Fusion said.

The AstraZeneca unit paid $21 a share in cash plus a non-transferable contingent value right of $3 a share in cash payable on achieving a specified regulatory milestone before Aug. 31, 2029, representing the transaction value of $2.4 billion, Fusion said.

AstraZeneca acquired the cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments on Fusion's balance sheet, which totaled $211 million as of March 31.
