Bone Health Focused Radius Health Goes Private In $890M Deal - Radius Recycling (NASDAQ:RDUS)

Radius Health Inc RDUS will be acquired by Gurnet Point Capital and Patient Square Capital in a transaction valued at approximately $890 million, including the assumption of debt and assuming full payment of the CVR (Contingent Value Right).
Gurnet Point and Patient Square will pay $10.00 per share in cash plus a CVR of $1.00 per share payable upon Tymlos (abaloparatide) net sales reaching $300 million by 2025.

The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2022.
