Monday Biotech Deal Review: July 26, 2010

Things were interesting for Forbes Medi-Tech (or at least its creditors), which saw a new bidder emerge for its assets. A few placements and other deals closed, some lower than expected. See who made it through the heat without wilting this week

Monday Biotech Deal Review: June 14, 2010

This week saw a series of transactions bringing Patient Home Monitoring to the TSXV with an accompanying private placement and a shiny new SEDA from (who else) Yorkville; ConjuChem is (pending court approval) on its way out of CCAA with some cash on hand; and the struggle between Northstar and its ex-CEO continues in the [...]

Monday Biotech Deal Review: March 1, 2010

This week saw a lot of offerings move forward, in the shadow of Anthera’s shrunken and postponed IPO, but the news wasn’t all good in Canada either. ConjuChem filed for restructuring, and other companies are still holding on by their teeth. See who’s who

Monday Biotech Deal Review: February 22, 2010

There was a lot of follow-up among Canadian biotech deals this week: letters of intent turning into definitive agreements, merged companies turning to consolidation, bids launched on schedule and wrapped up; as well as an average crop of new M&Eh and securities.  Start things off with an interesting (cross-border!) twist to the SIFT/SR&ED deals we’ve [...]

Monday Biotech Deal Review: January 25, 2010

Everyone’s looking to the future in this week’s deal review: two special committees, 225,000 options, two royalty streams, a delisting notice and the first income trust/tax loss deal of 2010. 

Monday Deal Review: August 31, 2009

This week Canada seems to have accounted for a significant chunk of the Western Hemisphere’s biopharma deal activity … by numbers, anyway. By dollars, all is dwarfed by the $3.1 billion Proctor & Gamble/Warner Chilcott deal, but don’t let that stop you from reading on

Monday Deal Review: August 24, 2009

This week saw a few headline deals that we covered at the time, including the Vasogen-Cervus-IntelliPharmaCeutics deal, the move by Takeda Canada to take back ACTOS rights from Lilly, and the Lonza offer for Patheon, but other than that it seems like it was a quiet week everywhere. Still, check out some good stuff

Another Biotech Windfall from the SIFT Tax: Vasogen Molts for Cervus and Merges with IntelliPharmaCeutics. Shareholders Applaud.

In July, we covered the deal ConjuChem Biotechnologies Inc. (TSX: CJB) made with Colabor Income Fund (TSX: CLB.UN), where ConjuChem got $5 million and the Income Fund got a public corporate shell.  ConjuChem had $8.7 million in the bank in April, but was burning it fast (pdf). Noting at the time that ConjuChem shareholders did [...]

Monday Deal Review: August 17, 2009

In addition to the highlights already noted — Enobia’s $50 million r0und, and the LOM – BioQuest joint venture — there was plenty of other Canadian deal activity this week.  Check it out

New Data Shows 70% of Canada’s Biotech Companies Have Under 12 Months’ Cash. BIOTECanada’s New Ask: Government Loans.

A Canwest story today highlights new BIOTECanada data showing 70% of survey respondents have under 1 year of cash, up from 50% in January.  FierceBiotech picked it up as well, guaranteeing a full dose of international attention.   Even though the remaining 30% of respondents likely include some with big recent successes — Bioniche, Allostera and Zymeworks – and some with creative [...]

Monday Deal Review: July 12, 2009

The highlights of this week were definitely the Bioniche-Endo deal and Allostera’s $17 million raise, but that was just the tip of the iceberg as Canadian deal activity heated up along with the weather.  A novel deal with an income trust swapping cash for a biotech’s public shell starts things off
