Satsuma Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Satsuma”) (Nasdaq: STSA) today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Shin Nippon Biomedical Laboratories, Ltd. (TSE: 2395, “SNBL”) for $0.91 in cash per share at the closing of the transaction plus one non-tradeable contingent value right (“CVR”) of up to $5.77 per share. The CVR is payable pursuant to the future sale, license, or any other monetization events related to STS101 (dihydroergotamine (DHE) nasal powder), a novel investigational therapeutic product candidate for the acute treatment of migraine, (subject to certain terms and conditions, as set forth in more detail below). Satsuma submitted a New Drug Application (“NDA”) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in March 2023 for STS101, which incorporates nasal powder formulation and delivery device technologies developed by SNBL and exclusively licensed by Satsuma.
