Valby, Denmark and Bothell, Washington, USA, 16 September 2019 - H. Lundbeck A/S (Lundbeck) and Alder BioPharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ALDR) (Alder) today announced a definitive agreement for Lundbeck to acquire Alder. Under the terms of the agreement, Lundbeck will commence a tender offer for all outstanding shares of Alder, whereby Alder stockholders will be offered an upfront payment for USD 18.00 per share in cash, along with one non-tradeable Contingent Value Right (CVR) that entitles them to an additional USD 2.00 per share upon approval of eptinezumab by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), representing a total potential consideration of USD 20.00 per share. The transaction is valued at up to USD 1.95 billion (approximately DKK 13 billion) net of cash, on a fully diluted basis.
Alder is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company committed to transforming migraine treatment through the discovery, development and commercialization of novel therapeutic antibodies. Through this acquisition, Lundbeck will continue to expand the range of brain diseases for which the company brings its leading and best-in-class therapies to patients. In addition, by acquiring Alder, Lundbeck will further enhance its capabilities to deliver future biological innovations in brain diseases.
Alder is developing eptinezumab for the preventive treatment of migraine in adults. Eptinezumab is an investigational monoclonal antibody (mAb) that is administered as a quarterly 30-minute IV infusion. Eptinezumab was designed for immediate and complete bioavailability with high specificity and strong binding for suppression of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), a neuropeptide believed to play a key role in mediating and initiating migraines. If approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), it will be the first IV CGRP therapy for migraine prevention. Alder is also developing ALD1910, a mAb designed to inhibit pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) for migraine prevention. Eptinezumab, together with ALD1910, will help establish Lundbeck as an emerging leader in migraine and other pain syndromes.
Alder submitted a Biologics License Application (BLA) to the FDA for eptinezumab in February 2019 and the FDA has set a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date of 21 February 2020. Lundbeck expects to submit eptinezumab for approval to regulatory authorities in the European Union during 2020, followed by submissions for approval in other regions around the world including China and Japan.
Strategic benefits
The proposed transaction is anticipated to significantly strengthen Lundbeck’s business as early as 2020, accelerating the build of Lundbeck’s late-stage pipeline and providing access to new capabilities in the monoclonal antibody field. The addition of eptinezumab will expand Lundbeck’s leading global brain disease franchise. Lundbeck intends to leverage its proven expertise in neuroscience, and its highly effective organization across 56 countries, to maximize the opportunity to serve patients suffering from brain diseases, including migraine.
The acquisition of Alder will support Lundbeck’s aim to deliver long-term sustainable growth and is consistent with capital allocation priorities. The transaction is expected to accelerate and diversify Lundbeck’s revenue growth with the expected U.S. launch of eptinezumab for preventive treatment of episodic and chronic migraine in 2020 and the expected expansion of indications for the product. Lundbeck will gain an early-stage antibody, ALD1910, against a separate target for migraine and other pain syndromes with the potential to leverage the expertise in migraine across a broader product offering. Lundbeck will also gain access to a team with strong monoclonal antibody expertise, accelerating Lundbeck’s capabilities in this arena. The transaction is expected to be core EPS accretive in 2023 assuming FDA approval in the first quarter of 2020 followed by regulatory approvals in other regions including Europe.
Dr. Deborah Dunsire, President and CEO of Lundbeck, commented “Alder is an excellent strategic fit for Lundbeck’s focused expertise in brain diseases and organizational capabilities. This transaction flows from our strategic intent to Expand and Invest to Grow. Migraine prevention is an attractive indication for us that leverages our specialized commercial expertise in delivering medicines for brain diseases. We expect the global launch of eptinezumab for the preventive treatment of migraine, as well as the further potential development of the product in additional indications, to accelerate Lundbeck’s growth in the coming years.”
”As a global leader in neuroscience research with products registered in more than 100 countries and a strong network of neurology specialists, Lundbeck is the ideal partner to advance Alder’s mission of changing the treatment paradigm for migraine prevention. We believe this positions eptinezumab for a successful launch both in and outside of the United States,” said Bob Azelby, Alder’s president and chief executive officer. “Importantly, today's news provides Alder shareholders with significant and immediate cash value, as well as the ability to benefit further once eptinezumab is approved by the EMA. Looking ahead, we expect Lundbeck will leverage Alder’s expertise in antibody development to explore additional indications for eptinezumab and continue the development of ALD1910.”
Terms, closing conditions and financing
Under the terms of the agreement, Lundbeck will commence a tender offer for all outstanding shares of Alder, whereby Alder stockholders will be offered an upfront payment for USD 18.00 per share in cash, along with one non-tradeable Contingent Value Right (CVR) of USD 2.00 per share. The upfront cash consideration represents a 79% premium to Alder’s shareholders based on the closing price on 13 September 2019 and an approximately 3% discount based on the 52-week high share price.
The non-tradeable CVR will be paid upon the approval by the European Commission of a "Marketing Authorization Application" in the European Union, through the centralized procedure. The terms of the CVR payment reflect the parties' agreement over the sharing of potential economic upside benefits from such approval. There can be no assurance such approval will occur or that any contingent payment will be made.
Lundbeck will acquire any shares of Alder not tendered into the tender offer through a merger for the same per share consideration as will be payable in the tender offer. The merger will be effected as soon as practicable after the closing of the tender offer.
The Board of Alder has unanimously approved the transaction and Alder will file a recommendation to shareholders recommending they tender their shares to Lundbeck. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2019, subject to customary closing conditions, including the tender of more than 50% of all shares of Alder outstanding at the expiration of the offer and receipt of required regulatory clearances, which includes a Hart-Scott-Rodino review in the U.S. The terms and conditions of the tender offer will be described in the tender offer documents, which will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Lundbeck expects to fund the acquisition through existing cash resources and bank financing.
Advisors
For Lundbeck, MTS Health Partners and PJT Partners are acting as the exclusive financial advisors and Baker McKenzie is acting as legal advisor in this transaction. For Alder, Centerview Partners is acting as exclusive financial advisor and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP and Cooley LLP are acting as legal advisors.
Financial guidance
If closed, the acquisition of Alder will impact Lundbeck's financial guidance for 2019. While the transaction is not expected to have impact on revenue in 2019, it is expected to be dilutive to both EBIT and cash flow for the year.
In Alder’s interim report for the second quarter of 2019, the net loss for the first six months was USD 176.3 million. The company maintained its full year guidance for 2019 of net cash used in operating activities and purchases of property and equipment to be in the range of USD 285 to USD 315 million. The majority of the spend is focused on ensuring that Alder is prepared for the potential launch of eptinezumab in the first quarter of 2020, including advancing eptinezumab’s supply chain, building commercial inventory, continuing to build out Alder’s commercial footprint and other pre-launch market readiness activities.
The expected impact from the transaction on Lundbeck's profitability in 2019 will depend on the timing of the closing of the transaction. However, on a pro forma basis assuming the transaction is closed on 1 November 2019, Lundbeck expects to incur transaction costs of approximately 200 million related to the acquisition of Alder and integration and retention costs of DKK 400-500 million. Furthermore, Lundbeck will recognize two months (on pro-forma basis) of Alder’s operating costs, which is estimated at DKK 325-400 million. Lundbeck’s guidance for core EBIT will only be impacted by the recognition of Alder’s operating costs.
As described above, the transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2019, subject to customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that the transaction will be closed before, on or after 1 November 2019, or on any specific timeline or by and specific date, or at all.
Lundbeck confirmed the transaction is not expected to result in any change to its current dividend policy and continues to expect a pay-out ratio of 30-60% for 2019.

About the eptinezumab PROMISE clinical trial program
PROMISE-1 (PRevention Of Migraine via Intravenous eptinezumab Safety and Efficacy-1) was a phase III randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled international trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of eptinezumab for prevention of episodic migraine. In the study, patients (n=888) were randomized to receive up to four IV doses of eptinezumab (30 mg, 100 mg or 300 mg) or placebo, administered by infusion every 12 weeks. To be eligible for the trial, patients must have experienced at most 14 headache days per month, of which at least four met the criteria for migraine.
In June 2017, Alder announced that eptinezumab met the primary endpoints and key secondary endpoints in PROMISE-1.
- Primary endpoint was mean change from baseline in monthly migraine days over the 12-week treatment period
- Statistically significant reductions in monthly migraine days from a baseline average of 8.6 days to 4.3 monthly migraine days for 300 mg (p=0.0001) and 3.9 days for 100 mg (p=0.0179) compared to a 3.2 days for placebo
- Key secondary endpoints achieved by both doses of eptinezumab were responders rates of 75% or greater at weeks 1 – 4.
- Day 1 clinical benefit: ≥50% reduction in the proportion of patients treated with eptinezumab 100 mg or 300 mg experiencing a migraine on Day 1 post-dose, compared to a 25% reduction in patients that received placebo
- Significant 75% responses: ~1/3 of patients treated with eptinezumab 100 mg or 300 mg achieved a ≥75% reduction in migraine days by Month 1.
- On average of 1 in 5 patients had 100% response: no migraines in any given month
PROMISE 2 (PRevention Of Migraine via Intravenous ALD403 Safety and Efficacy 2) was a phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled international trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of eptinezumab for chronic migraine prevention. In the study, patients (n=1,072) were randomized to receive eptinezumab (100 mg or 300 mg) or placebo, administered by infusion once every 12 weeks. To be eligible for the trial, patients must have experienced at least 15 headache days per month, of which at least eight met the criteria for migraine. Patients who participated in the trial had an average of 16.1 migraine days per month at baseline.
Alder announced that eptinezumab met the primary endpoint and all key secondary endpoints in PROMISE-2:
- Primary endpoint was mean change from baseline in monthly migraine days over the 12-week, double-blind treatment period:
- Statistically significant reductions in monthly migraine days from baseline: 8.2 monthly migraine days for 300 mg (p=0.0001) and 7.7 days for 100 mg (p=0.0001) compared to an average 3.2 days for placebo
- Key secondary and other endpoints met, including reduction in the percentage of patients experiencing migraine on the day following administration and reduction of migraine prevalence days 1-28, reduction of at least 50%, 75%, and 100% from baseline in mean monthly migraine days assessed through 12 weeks, change from baseline in mean monthly acute migraine-specific medication days, and reductions from baseline in patient-reported impact scores on the Headache Impact Test (HIT-6).
- Day One prevention: >50% reduction in migraine beginning Day One post-infusion in patients treated with eptinezumab 100 mg or 300 mg compared to 27% for placebo, p<0.0001
- Over Months 1 through 3 after a single IV administration, 58% and 61% of patients achieved 50% or greater reduction in migraine days from baseline compared to 39% for placebo, p<0.0001
- Over months 1 through 3 after a single IV administration, 27% and 33% of patients achieved a 75% or greater reduction in migraine days from baseline, compared to 15% for placebo, p<0.0001
- 100% reduction in migraine days was achieved by 11% and 15% of patients with chronic migraine who were treated with eptinezumab 100 mg or 300 mg, respectively, each month, on average, for Months 1, 2, and 3, compared with 5% of patients who received placebo (post hoc, unadjusted)
- All other pre-specified key secondary endpoints were met with statistical significance
Safety and tolerability were evaluated in the PROMISE 1 and PROMISE 2 trials. In pooled data assessment across the two trials, nasopharyngitis (swelling of the nasal passages and the back of the throat) was the only AE occurring at an incidence of 2.0% or greater than placebo, but only at the 300mg dose (8% vs. 6% for placebo). Other AEs included upper respiratory infection, nausea and urinary tract infection, arthralgia (joint pain), dizziness, anxiety and fatigue, which all occurred at a similar incidence to placebo (less than 2% difference vs. placebo) in the pooled data set.
About eptinezumab (ALD403)
Eptinezumab is an investigational monoclonal antibody (mAb) discovered and developed by Alder BioPharmaceuticals for migraine prevention. Eptinezumab was designed for 100% bioavailability delivered via quarterly 30-minute IV infusion with high specificity and strong binding for rapid, robust, and sustained suppression of CGRP.
Alder plans to initiate a phase III clinical trial evaluating eptinezumab as a treatment for acute migraine in the second half of 2019. The trial will seek to leverage eptinezumab’s immediate and complete bioavailability, with the objective of securing an indication for the acute treatment of migraine.
About ALD1910
Alder is developing ALD1910, a preclinical monoclonal antibody (mAb) designed to inhibit pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) for migraine prevention. PACAP has emerged as an important signaling molecule in the pathophysiology of migraine and represents an attractive novel target for treating migraine. ALD1910 may hold potential as a migraine prevention treatment for those who have an inadequate response to other therapies and could provide another mechanism-specific therapeutic option for migraine patients and their physicians.
Good Manufacturing Practice and Investigational New Drug-enabling (IND) studies are underway.
About Migraine
Migraine is estimated to be the 2nd leading cause of Years Lived with Disability among all diseases causing disability[i]. More than 134 million are estimated to experience migraine annually. It is a disabling neurological disease characterized by recurrent episodes of moderate to severe headache accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and sensitivities to light and sound. The occurrence of migraine can be unpredictable with a profound impact on activities of daily living. Migraine is much more than a bad headache. According to the “Chronic Migraine in America” Survey[ii]:
- 93% - migraine affects their ability to work
- 89% - migraine affects their ability to maintain relationships w/ partner
- 86% - migraine affects their ability to maintain relationships w/ children
- 64% - constantly worried about disappointing people
This disease can last decades, often during what should be the most productive years of patients’ lives[iii]. Migraine can remit or progress to chronic migraine over time and persist as chronic migraine for years or decades, but it commonly oscillates between periods of frequent episodic and chronic migraine[iv]. Many of the standard of care preventive treatments for episodic and chronic migraine fail to meet the needs of most patients and most patients discontinue use within 6 months to 1 year due to lack of efficacy and/or side effects[v], [vi]. There is a significant need for new, effective, and well-tolerated treatment options.
