Acquisitions

Mirati

In January 2024, BMS acquired Mirati, a commercial stage targeted oncology company with a pipeline of clinical and commercial oncology medicines. Through this acquisition, BMS has added commercialized lung cancer medicine Krazati, as well as several clinical assets, including MRTX1719. Krazati is a best-in-class inhibitor of KRASG12C mutation, which was approved by the FDA as a second-line treatment for patients with NSCLC and is in clinical development in combination with a PD-1 inhibitor as a first-line therapy for patients with NSCLC, as well as in other indications. MRTX1719, is a potential first-in-class MTA-cooperative PRMT5 inhibitor in Phase I development. BMS also gained access to several other promising clinical and pre-clinical stage assets, including additional KRAS inhibitors and enabling programs.
BMS acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Mirati's common stock for $58.00 per share in an all-cash transaction for a total consideration of $4.8 billion or $4.1 billion, net of estimated cash acquired. Mirati stockholders will also receive one non-tradeable contingent value right for each share of Mirati common stock held, potentially worth $12.00 per share in cash for a total value of approximately $1.0 billion. The payout of the contingent value right is subject to the FDA acceptance of an NDA for MRTX1719 for the treatment of specific indications within seven years of the closing of the transaction. The transaction will be accounted for as a business combination in which all assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation of the consideration transferred to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed has not yet been finalized. The acquisition was funded through a combination of cash on hand and debt proceeds.

Karuna

In December 2023, BMS entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire Karuna, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company driven to discover, develop, and deliver transformative medicines for people living with psychiatric and neurological conditions. The acquisition will provide BMS with rights to Karuna's lead asset, KarXT (xanomeline-trospium). KarXT is an antipsychotic with a novel mechanism of action and differentiated efficacy and safety, is currently under review by the FDA for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults with a PDUFA date of September 26, 2024. KarXT is also in registrational trials for both adjunctive therapy to existing standard of care agents in schizophrenia and for the treatment of psychosis in patients with Alzheimer’s disease.

BMS will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Karuna's common stock for $330.00 per share in an all-cash transaction for a total consideration of $14.0 billion. The accounting treatment as a business combination or asset acquisition will be determined in the period the transaction closes. The transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2024, subject to customary closing conditions, including approval of Karuna stockholders and receipt of regulatory approvals. The acquisition will be funded primarily with future debt proceeds.

RayzeBio

In December 2023, BMS entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire RayzeBio, a clinical-stage radiopharmaceutical therapeutics (RPT) company with actinium-based RPTs for solid tumors. The acquisition will provide BMS with rights to RayzeBio’s actinium-based radiopharmaceutical platform and lead asset, RYZ101, which is in Phase III development for treatment of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.

BMS will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of RayzeBio's common stock for $62.50 per share in an all-cash transaction for a total consideration of $4.1 billion. The transaction is expected to be accounted for as a business combination and is anticipated to close in the first half of 2024, subject to fulfillment of customary closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals. The acquisition will be funded primarily with future debt proceeds.

Orum

In November 2023, BMS acquired the rights to Orum's ORM-6151 program, which is in preclinical development. ORM-6151 is a anti-CD33 antibody-enabled GSPT1 degrader that has received the FDA’s clearance for Phase I for the treatment of patients with acute myeloid leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes. The consideration included an upfront payment of $100 million, as well as contingent development milestone payments up to $80 million. The upfront payment was expensed to Acquired IPRD.

Turning Point

Turning Point was a clinical-stage precision oncology company with a pipeline of investigational medicines designed to target the common mutations and alterations that drive cancer growth. The acquisition provided BMS rights to Turning Point's lead asset, repotrectinib, and other clinical and pre-clinical stage assets. Repotrectinib was approved by the FDA in November 2023 and is marketed under the brand name Augtyro.
