Shares of Theratechnologies rose sharply in premarket trading Thursday after the biopharmaceutical company agreed to be acquired by privately held pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products maker Future Pak for up to $254 million.

Theratechnologies late Wednesday said Future Pak will pay an initial $3.01 a share in cash for the Montreal company, a nearly 28% premium to Wednesday's closing price of $2.36 for its U.S.-listed shares and more than double its closing price of $1.33 on April 10, the day before Future Pak announced its pursuit of the company.

Theratechnologies investors will also receive contingent value rights worth up to an additional $1.19 a share tied to certain profit milestones, which could bring the total transaction consideration to $4.20 a share, or $254 million.

U.S.-listed shares of Theratechnologies were recently up 32% at $3.12 in premarket trading.

The deal is slated to close by the end of November.
