Under the terms of the deal, shareholders will receive $23.50 per share in cash, representing a 30.6% premium to the original agreement with Garda Therapeutics and 75.8% premium to Assertio's unaffected share price on March 20, the company said.
The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, after which Assertio Holdings will be delisted from Nasdaq, it added.
