Malin Corporation, a Dublin-based life sciences investment firm, experienced a significant rise in its share price following the news that Roche, a Swiss pharmaceuticals giant, has agreed to acquire Poseida, a Nasdaq-listed biopharma company in which Malin holds a 12% stake, for up to $1.5 billion.

Shareholders are set to receive $9 per share at the closing of the deal early next year, and much as $4 per share subject to Poseida, which has a number of treatments in clinical trials as it focuses on the fields of oncology, immunology, and neurology. The now-abandoned €45 million buyback was planned as a way of handing out proceeds from Malin’s sale of its stake in a company called CG Oncology.
