Cycle Pharmaceuticals has reaffirmed its proposal to acquire Vanda Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: VNDA) for $8.00 per share in an all-cash transaction. This offer represents an 80% premium to Vanda's closing share price on October 11, 2024, and values the company at $488 million on a fully diluted basis.
Cycle criticizes Vanda's board for refusing to engage and for implementing bylaw amendments that Cycle views as entrenching efforts. The proposal comes after Vanda's recent failure to receive FDA approval for tradipitant following an unsuccessful Phase 3 trial.
Cycle urges Vanda shareholders to express their views on the proposal to the independent directors of Vanda's board. The company states it has substantial cash on hand and is confident in obtaining committed financing for the transaction.
Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Nasdaq: VNDA) announced that the FDA has declined to approve its New Drug Application (NDA) for tradipitant, a treatment for gastroparesis symptoms. The FDA provided a Complete Response Letter (CRL) on September 18, 2024, 185 days after the submission deadline. Vanda argues that the FDA's action fails to meet the Food Drug and Cosmetic Act requirements and disregards the evidence provided, including two placebo-controlled studies and real-world patient experiences. Despite this setback, Vanda believes tradipitant meets the substantial evidence of efficacy standard and plans to continue pursuing marketing authorization. The company will also maintain its expanded access program for gastroparesis patients and plans to submit a separate NDA for tradipitant in motion sickness prevention later this year.

Vanda Pharmaceuticals announced that the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware has allowed its patent lawsuit against Teva Pharmaceuticals and Apotex to proceed. The suit, filed in December 2022, alleges patent infringement related to HETLIOZ®. Teva and Apotex's motions for judgment on the pleadings were denied on June 27, 2024. The court determined that the issues of patentability require further claim construction and fact development.

On June 19, 2024, Vanda Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: VNDA) announced its Board of Directors rejected unsolicited takeover proposals from Cycle Group Holdings and Future Pak The offers were $8.00 per share in cash from Cycle Group and $8.50-$9.00 per share in cash plus Contingent Value Rights (CVRs) from Future Pak. The Board determined these proposals undervalue Vanda, citing their clinical development pipeline, commercial presence, and significant cash balance. They deemed the CVRs speculative due to uncertain commercial milestones under Future Pak's management. Vanda remains confident in its long-term growth and value creation potential.
Vanda Pharmaceuticals has received a revised unsolicited takeover proposal from Future Pak, which offers $8.50-$9.00 per share in cash plus Contingent Value Rights. The proposal is currently non-binding. Vanda's Board, consulting with financial and legal advisors, will review this proposal to determine the best course of action for the company and its shareholders.
No immediate action is required from shareholders, and Vanda will not make further comments until the review is complete.
