Catalent Inc. faces considerable business risk due to restrictive provisions in its Merger Agreement with Novo Holdings. The agreement curtails Catalent’s ability to consider alternative transactions by prohibiting solicitation or negotiation with potential acquirers, thereby potentially deterring higher-value offers from third parties. Furthermore, a hefty termination fee of approximately $344.8 million looms if Catalent opts out under certain conditions, which could further discourage competing offers or reduce the acquisition price to account for this potential financial penalty. These constraints may limit Catalent’s opportunities to maximize shareholder value during the merger process.
Overall, Wall Street has a Hold consensus rating on CTLT stock based on 1 Buy and 3 Holds.
