Shire Plc ADS, Each Representing Three Ordinary Shares (SHPG) News

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/announcement-notice-shire-abbvie-board-234400720.html

Gawd I love this stock!!!!! Thank you SHPG

Ok figured out - ADR on SHIRE is 3:1 so math on this one

So Shire has a 3:1 3 for 1 ADR and the math would be . . . ($68.55 offer from Takeda to shire *3 ADR/Stk) / 128.77 Shire close on March 27, 2019 = 1.5970 multiple or 60% premium that they are givinng shareholders.

Plus the 36.83 in stock

Plus the cash component $29.38 cash / SHPG share

So how does the Shire shareholder make out on this deal?

Takeda shares tumbled as much as 9.3 percent in early trading in Tokyo on Wednesday. The Japanese company is offering the equivalent of 49 pounds ($68.55) per share, including 27.26 pounds in stock and 21.75 pounds in cash, Shire said in a statement. That’s a 60 percent premium to Shire’s closing share price on March 27, before Takeda disclosed it was interested in the US drug maker.

Where is the 60percent premium to Close of March 27 2018 at shire 128.87


I see a 4 percent premium if you work the pounds of stock and pounds of cash into dollars and get 134.76 over March 27 2018 close.

Ok so takeda is buying shire. So how much will each shareholders stock be worth ? With this deal

Riding and Raising that BULL flag since End of March- New Drug, Strong like Bull we dont want your money boys we are fine on our own! SHPG!

BEast Mode!! You cant buy out the IRISH!

Dip and rip baby! Great news no BUYOUT :) just shows how strong the IRISH are GO SHPG

TAKE YOUR 60 BILLION BACK HOME JAPANESE

Looking GREAT SHPG!!!

Shire shareholders approve $32 bln Baxalta merger (5/27/16)

By Ian Walker

LONDON--Shareholders of Dublin-based pharmaceutical company Shire PLC SHP Friday approved the company's proposed $32 billion merger with Bannockburn, Ill-based Baxalta Incorporated at the general meeting, and the deal is expected to close on June 3.

Shire Chief Executive Flemming Ornskov said: "The combination will allow us to realize our goal of building the leading global biotechnology company focused on rare diseases and other highly specialized conditions, offering greater opportunities for our patients, healthcare partners and employees."

Shire and Baxalta announced their deal in January. The two companies signed off on the deal after overcoming fears the tie-up could run afoul of U.S. laws that prohibit tax-free spinoffs from being used as a device to funnel cash to shareholders. Baxalta was separated from parent Baxter International Inc. in July.

Shire agreed to pay $18 in cash plus 0.1482 of its American depository shares for each Baxalta share, making it one of the few ever cash-and-stock deals involving a recent tax-free spinoff.

Early last month, the Treasury Department imposed new rules that make it harder for companies to move their tax addresses out of the U.S. and then shift profits to low-tax countries using a maneuver known as earnings stripping.

Completion of the merger remains subject to approval by Baxalta shareholders, with a vote scheduled for 12GMT Friday, and other customary closing conditions, Shire said.
