first-round bids valuing the company at $25 to $29 a share, with
Pfizer Inc. (PFE) dropping out of the process, Bloomberg News
reported Monday on its website, citing people with knowledge of the
process.
AstraZeneca Plc (AZN), Sanofi (SNY), Merck & Co. (MRK) and
Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. (BMY) submitted offers, with revised
offers due by the end of the month and a sale likely in July, two
people told Bloomberg.
Representatives for Amylin, Merck, Bristol-Myers, AstraZeneca,
Sanofi and Pfizer declined comment to Bloomberg.
