Astrazeneca in Talks to Bid for $MDVN

The Sunday Times is reporting the executives from Astrazeneca are holding ‘secret’ talks to acquire MDVN, who just rebuffed an ‘inadequate’ bid from Sanofi. I never quite understood how these rumors get leaked. Perhaps one of the idiot secretaries, or receptionist, at AZN sold the info for 10 bucks to the Sunday Times, effectively costing her company millions in potential expenditures for making an elevated bid for MDVN?

Either way, this so called bid has not been proposed to the lads at Medivation just yet.

In March, MDVN hired JP Morgan to explore ‘strategic alternatives.’
