Sun Pharma To Acquire Organon In $11.75 Billion Deal

Organon agreed to be acquired by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries in an all-cash deal valued at $11.75 billion, offering $14 per share and a 103% premium to its April 9 closing price.

The transaction had been approved by both companies' boards and was expected to close in early 2027 pending regulatory clearances.

Organon, spun off from Merck & Co Inc. (NYSE:MRK)  in 2021, operated across women's health, biosimilars and general medicines in more than 140 countries.

Sun Pharma said the acquisition aligned with its global expansion strategy and followed months of due diligence, with Organon's portfolio expected to strengthen its long-term growth outlook.

Led by Dilip Shanghvi, the deal was seen as one of the largest overseas acquisitions by an Indian pharmaceutical company.
