Avadel Pharmaceuticals ( (AVDL) ) has issued an announcement.
On November 18, 2025, Avadel Pharmaceuticals and Alkermes plc amended their original transaction agreement, increasing the cash consideration for Avadel’s shares from $18.50 to $21.00 per share, with the contingent value right remaining unchanged. This amendment followed an unsolicited proposal from H. Lundbeck A/S, which was initially considered superior by Avadel’s board. However, after reviewing both offers, Avadel’s board determined that Alkermes’ revised terms were more favorable, particularly the terms of the contingent value right. The acquisition, valuing Avadel at up to $2.37 billion, is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, pending conditions and regulatory approvals.
The most recent analyst rating on (AVDL) stock is a Hold with a $20.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Avadel Pharmaceuticals stock, see the AVDL Stock Forecast page.
