Crown Laboratories and Revance Enter into Amended and Restated Merger Agreement
Crown Laboratories and Revance Therapeutics (NASDAQ: RVNC) have announced an amended merger agreement where Crown will acquire all outstanding Revance shares for $3.10 per share in cash through a tender offer. The amendment comes after several developments, including Revance's settlement with Teoxane regarding distribution agreements and revised brand guidelines, which are expected to materially impact Revance's future profitability.
The transaction is anticipated to close in Q1 2025, subject to stockholders tendering shares representing at least a majority of Revance's voting power. Post-merger, Revance will become wholly owned by Crown and will be delisted from Nasdaq. The tender offer is expected to commence on December 12, 2024, with Revance's Board unanimously recommending stockholders to tender their shares.
