Core to the deal is CinCor’s experimental therapy baxdrostat, which is in development to treat conditions including high blood pressure and chronic kidney disease

The offer also includes a non-tradable contingent value right of $10 per share in cash payable upon a specified regulatory baxdrostat submission.
