Join with me on the call is Owen Hughes, Chairman of the Board, and Kelly Martin, President and CEO who will provide an overview of the announced transaction. I would now like to turn it over to Owen.
Owen Hughes^ Thank you, Ethan. Good morning, everyone. And we appreciate you dialing in. We’re pleased to be here today to announce the transaction. And more importantly, why we believe this is a positive outcome for our shareholders and stakeholders. With respect today’s call with Kelly Martin, CEO, myself will provide some background of the transaction.
We will, however, not be taking questions this morning as we have been advised to wait until the merger documents have been filed and the details of the lengthy process have been made public before we engage in the specifics. Once that has transpired, we’ll be pleased to engage with all shareholders and all analysts directly.
So this morning, we announced an agreement to be acquired by Gurnet Point Capital, a private investment firm focused on the healthcare and life sciences sectors, as well as Patient Square Capital, a leading dedicated healthcare investment firm. This transaction has been unanimously approved by the Radius board.
With respect to details, potential per share value totals $11 per share, including $10 cash paid at closing, and a potential $1 CVR payable upon TYMLOS’ net sales reaching 300 million during any 12-month period prior to December 31st, 2025. The total transaction value is equivalent to $890 million. Importantly, this transaction is a culmination of a thorough and rigorous strategic review that was conducted over nine months by the board and management with the assistance of external advisors, and included each of the assets that are currently in the Radius portfolio.
This review included outreach to and interactions with multiple strategic parties and a number of financial sponsors on all parts of our business. We are confident that this transaction delivers immediate value and liquidity to Radius shareholders in the context of a volatile market and specifically a volatile biotech market, and provides a clearest path forward for Radius.
The cash upfront payment at closing represents a premium of 45% over the 30-day VWAP of Radius’s common stock and inclusive of the CDR, the premium would reach 59%. This transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2022.
The teams of both Gurnet Point and patient square consists of highly experienced industry executives that work closely with its portfolio companies with an active approach to drive operational transformation and outsides returns. We look forward to working closely with the GPC and PSE team members, and moving Radius forward for our patients. And with that, allow me to turn it over to Kelly, our CEO. Kelly?
Kelly Martin^ Thank you, Owen. And I’ll just have a few brief comments that compliment or supplement Owen’s very clear outline. Number one, and just to repeat, this outcome is the combination of at least nine months worth of review by both the board, the management, and outside advisors.
And to emphasize in particular, Owen’s statement that the review and assessment included all of the assets of which we have three main assets as many people know. Abaloparatide both from the U.S. perspective and a non-U.S. perspective, Elacestrant, and last but certainly not least is RAD011. We had significant discussions which will be evident as Owen said when the merger documents are made public.
Second point I’d like to highlight. As mentioned in the press release, we have approximately 250 employees at Radius. That group of employees works tirelessly on the fundamentals of the company, controlling what we can control and moving the business forward.
And I can certainly say that over the last two years, the amount of effort, energy, commitment, to this company, and improvement across the board on the fundamentals has been significant. And one that myself personally and the board are incredibly grateful for and very proud of.
Thirdly, and as Owen also mentioned, the market in our space is challenging and has been challenging from an equity point of view.
Certainly in 2022, the headwinds are — have been significant in macro point of view. And again, we all live and work in the environment that we work in. And while that wasn’t a direct view of things, it certainly is something that we and the board were aware of.
So with that, with particular emphasis on the rigor of the process, and the breadth and depth of the process, and the sharing of that information from a merger documentation point of view, and specifically the effort of the employees, which has been very significant over the last couple of years on improving all aspects of the business, we thank you for your time this morning. We look forward to sharing the merger document information. And with that, Owen, and I’ll turn it back to you.
Owen Hughes^ Thank you, Kelly. We hope that this is a positive outcome for our shareholders. We believe it is. We look forward to speaking with each of our shareholders over the coming weeks, as these documents are made forth. And with that, I will turn it back over to the operator and conclude the call. Thank you.
Operator^ Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, that ends (inaudible) conference for today. Thank you for your participation. You may now disconnect.
