CinCor (NASDAQ:CINC) stock is rocketing higher on Monday following news that AstraZeneca (NASDAQ:AZN) is acquiring the company.

The offer from AstraZeneca has it agreeing to a tender offer of $26 per share for CINC stock. To go along with that, the company includes another $10 per share if a certain baxdrostat product gets a specified regulatory submission.

The $26 per share offer represents a total value of $1.3 billion and a 121% premium to CINC stock’s closing price on Friday. Taking into account the extra $10 per share, the deal is worth $1.8 billion and is a 206% premium over its prior closing price.

Marc de Garidel, CEO of CinCor, said the following about the deal:

“We are excited about the proposed acquisition of CinCor Pharma by AstraZeneca as we believe it offers the prospect of accelerating the development timeline and expanding the breadth of benefits patients with cardiorenal diseases might obtain from baxdrostat, if approved.”
