“By entering into a definitive purchase agreement with BioNTech, we intend to unite two highly complementary German companies that are well positioned to drive long-term shareholder value. Together, we believe we can deliver significant benefits to patients with mRNA-based immunotherapies and realize our full potential in a combined company,” said Dr. Alexander Zehnder, Chief Executive Officer of CureVac (CVAC). “The proposed transaction will bring together some of Europe’s best mRNA scientists and can create significant opportunities across our collective research, development and manufacturing platforms, while establishing the combined company as a global leader in mRNA-based medicines.”
