Why is there an investigation?
On July 8, 2024, Morphic announced that it had agreed to be sold to Eli Lilly for $57.00 per share in cash in a tender offer.
Notably, according to TipRanks, the sales price of $57.00 per share is below the price target for Morphic of at least five Wall Street analysts:
- Gregory Renza of RBC Capital ($70.00 per share)
- Edward Nash of Canaccord Genuity ($66.00 per share)
- Derek Archila of Wells Fargo ($64.00 per share)
- Thomas Smith of Leerink Partners ($60.00 per share)
- Michael Yee of Jefferies ($60.00 per share)
The sales price is also below Morphic’s 52-week high of $62.08 per share, which indicates that the purchase may be opportunistic after a sharp drop in September 2023.
“We are investigating whether the Morphic Board of Directors acted in the best interests of Morphic shareholders in approving the sale,” explained Joshua Fruchter, a founding partner of Wohl & Fruchter. “This includes whether the price agreed upon is fair to Morphic shareholders, as well as whether all material information regarding the transaction has been fully disclosed.”
