Sanofi said to weigh alternative deals to Medivation; eyes BioMarin Pharmaceutical - sources

French pharmaceutical giant Sanofi is working on a back up plan in case it fails to win its $9.3 billion hostile pursuit of US-listed Medivation.

Top sources have told me the French pharmaceutical giant has begun looking at US-based rare disease specialist BioMarin Pharmaceutical as a potential alternative takeover deal after growing frustrated in its pursuit of Medivation, which has so far resisted the French company's advances.

Last month, Sanofi launched a formal attempt to kick out the entire Medivation board after the US company rebuffed a $52.50 a share takeover proposal. Medivation has urged its shareholders to reject Sanofi's proposal for a new board.

BioMarin, run by Jean Jacques Bienaime, has been courted over the last couple of years by the likes of Switzerland-based Roche and London-listed Shire but up until now has opted to remain independent.

However, the company's shares have fallen from a high of $150 in the middle of last year to around $80 a share, potentially leaving the business vulnerable to an approach.

Now, clearly the very idea of Sanofi - which is being advised by Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs - looking at an alternative deal to Medivation might just give the US company's shareholders that extra bit of encouragement to work with the French giant in replacing Medivation's board. But this story really has come from excellent sources, so I'm taking Sanofi's interest in BioMarin seriously.

Other potential targets for Sanofi include Actelion although recent comments from Jean-Paul Clozel, the founder and chief executive, imply it's unlikely he is willing to sell the business.

When asked about BioMarin, a spokesperson for Sanofi declined to comment. A BioMarin spokesperson also declined to comment.

  5. My life became devastated when my husband sent me packing, after 8 years that we have been together. I was lost and helpless after trying so many ways to make my husband take me back. One day at work, i was absent minded not knowing that my boss was calling me, so he sat and asked me what its was all about i told him and he smiled and said that it was not a problem. I never understand what he meant by it wasn't a problem getting my husband back, he said he used a spell to get his wife back when she left him for another man and now they are together till date and at first i was shocked hearing such thing from my boss. He gave me an email address of the great spell caster who helped him get his wife back, i never believed this would work but i had no choice that to get in contact with the spell caster which i did, and he requested for my information and that of my husband to enable him cast the spell and i sent him the details, but after two days, my mom called me that my husband came pleading that he wants me back, i never believed it because it was just like a dream and i had to rush down to my mothers place and to my greatest surprise, my husband was kneeling before me pleading for forgiveness that he wants me and the kid back home, then i gave Happy a call regarding sudden change of my husband and he made it clear to me that my husband will love me till the end of the world, that he will never leave my sight. Now me and my husband is back together again and has started doing pleasant things he hasn't done before, he makes me happy and do what he is suppose to do as a man without nagging. Please if you need help of any kind, kindly contact Happy for help and you can reach him via email: happylovespell2@gmail.com
