Sun Pharma Submits $13 Billion Offer to Acquire US-Based Organon Co

Sun Pharmaceutical, led by Dilip Shanghvi, has submitted a binding $13 billion all-cash offer to acquire US-based Organon Co, aiming to expand from generics into branded and innovative drugs. The bid competes with Swedish group EQT and German firm Gruenthal. Financed by JP Morgan, MUFG, and Citi, Sun plans to merge Organon with itself without issuing shares to Organon's shareholders. Organon's stock has surged amid acquisition speculation despite its leveraged balance sheet and modest growth outlook.
