Abstract:
Foster City, California–based Gilead surprised Wall Street with a proposal to purchase Westminster, Colorado–based Myogen on 2 October 2006 in a tender offer of $2.5 billion in cash. The acquisition could demonstrate that companies with niche applications are becoming more attractive to better-established biopharmaceutical companies.
