Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:PGNX) Files An 8-K Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposal of Assets.

On the Closing Date, Lantheus and Progenics completed the Merger. At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of Progenics’ common stock, par value $0.0013 per share (“Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than certain excluded shares as described in the Merger Agreement) were automatically converted into the right to receive (i) 0.31 of a share of Lantheus common stock and (ii) one non-transferable contingent value right (a “CVR”) representing the right to receive up to two contingent payments upon the achievement of certain milestones at the times and subject to the terms of the Contingent Value Rights Agreement (the “CVR Agreement”), dated as of June 19, 2020, by and between Lantheus and Computershare, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., a federally chartered trust company, collectively, as rights agent (both clause (i) and (ii) being the “Merger Consideration”).

At the Effective Time, in accordance with the Merger Agreement, each Progenics stock option with a per share exercise price that does not exceed $4.42 (an “in-the-money option”) and each Progenics stock option with a per share exercise price that does exceed $4.42 (an “out-of-the-money option”) was treated as follows:

The aggregate number of shares of Lantheus common stock expected to be issued in connection with the Merger is 26,844,957. In addition, in connection with the Merger, Lantheus expects to assume 34,000 in-the-money options and 6,507,342 out-of-the-money options, each to be converted into Lantheus stock options at the exchange ratio noted above. The aggregate number of CVRs expected to be issued in connection with the Merger is 86,630,634.    

The foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated in this Item 2.01 by reference.

Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On the Closing Date, in connection with the completion of the Merger, Progenics notified The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) that the Merger had been completed and requested that trading of the Common Stock on Nasdaq be suspended prior to the opening of trading on June 22, 2020. In addition, Progenics requested that Nasdaq file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration on Form 25 to delist the Common Stock from Nasdaq and deregister the Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on June 22, 2020. As a result, the Common Stock will no longer be listed on Nasdaq. In addition, Progenics intends to file with the SEC a certification on Form 15 under the Exchange Act to terminate the registration of all Progenics securities registered under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to suspend Progenics’ reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
