Symyx Rejects One Offer For Another

Volume 88, Issue 26
Scientific software firm Symyx Technologies has rejected a revised takeover offer from Certara. Symyx calls the new $5.75-per-share cash offer, down from $6.75 offered on May 24, inadequate. Instead, Symyx says it will go ahead with its April deal to merge with Accelrys (C&EN, April 12, page 6). In response, Certara has made public a letter to Symyx, which indicates that its latest offer represents a premium to the Accelrys transaction, based on the recent value of Accelrys’ stock. Pending shareholder approval, the Symyx and Accelrys merger is scheduled to close in July.
The power is now in your (nitrile gloved) hands
