Bluebird Bio, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLUE#NASDAQ">BLUE</a>) shares are trading higher on Wednesday following the news that Bluebird Bio, Carlyle, and SK Capital Partners, LP, have amended their definitive agreement.
Under the terms of the amended agreement, Bluebird stockholders can elect to receive either the original offer of $3.00 per share in cash plus a contingent value right (CVR) of $6.84 per share in cash payable upon achievement of a net sales milestone or <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45404624/carlyle-sk-capital-partners-and-bluebird-bio-amend-merger-agreement" rel="noreferrer noopener">$5.00 per share in cash</a>.

Any shares tendered for which no election is made will receive the original consideration of $3.00 per share in cash and a contingent value right per share.
In May, Carlyle and SK Capital received all required regulatory approvals to complete the transaction, and all parties expect the transaction to be consummated promptly following the successful completion of the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/b45206000/carlyle-and-sk-capital-receive-all-required-regulatory-approvals-to-complete-the-acquisition-of-bl" rel="noreferrer noopener">ongoing tender offer</a>.
In March, Bluebird received an unsolicited, non-binding written proposal from Ayrmid Ltd.

Bluebird Bio shares are trading higher after the company announced the amendment of its merger agreement with Carlyle and SK Capital Partners.

Carlyle, SK Capital Partners And bluebird bio Amend Merger Agreement; Stockholders May Elect To Receive Either $3/Share Plus CVR Of $6.84/Share In Cash Payable Upon Achievement Of A Net Sales Milestone Or $5/Share With No CVR

bluebird Board of Directors unanimously supports the transaction as the only viable option for stockholders to receive consideration for their shares and recommends that all stockholders immediately tender their shares into the offer
Parties expect the merger to be completed promptly following the successful completion of the ongoing tender offer
bluebird bio, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLUE#NASDAQ">BLUE</a>) ("bluebird" or "the Company"), Carlyle (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CG#NASDAQ">CG</a>) ("Carlyle"), SK Capital Partners, LP ("SK Capital") and Beacon Parent Holdings, L.P. ("Parent") announced today that all required regulatory approvals to complete the previously announced acquisition of the Company by Carlyle and SK Capital have been received.
No further regulatory approvals are required to complete the transaction. The parties expect to complete the merger promptly following the successful completion of the ongoing tender offer, which is scheduled to expire one minute after 11:59 p.m. New York City time on May 12, 2025, unless the tender offer is further extended or earlier terminated.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, stockholders will receive an upfront payment of $3.00 per share in cash and a contingent value right (CVR) of $6.84 per share in cash payable upon achievement of a net sales milestone, for a total potential value of $9.84 per share. The bluebird board of directors (the "Board") unanimously recommends that stockholders tender into the offer.

Carlyle Group and Bluebird Bio shares are trading lower. The company, along with SK Capital Partners, announced that the Beacon merger subsidiary has extended the expiration date to acquire the outstanding shares of Bluebird Bio.

bluebird Board reaffirms unanimous recommendation in support of transaction with Carlyle and SK Capital and recommends all stockholders tender into the current agreement by May 2, 2025bluebird bio, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/blue#NASDAQ">BLUE</a>)
bluebird Board reaffirms unanimous recommendation in support of transaction with Carlyle and SK Capital and recommends all stockholders tender into the current agreement by May 2, 2025
bluebird bio, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLUE#NASDAQ">BLUE</a>) ("bluebird" or "the Company") today announced that after three weeks of engagement, including a timeline extension, Ayrmid Ltd. ("Ayrmid") has not submitted a binding proposal to acquire bluebird and has not obtained necessary financing. In consultation with its financial and legal advisors, the bluebird Board of Directors (the "Board") reaffirms its recommendation in support of the transaction with Carlyle and SK Capital and recommends all stockholders tender into the current agreement by May 2, 2025.
"Ayrmid's proposal remains highly conditional, despite an extension to the previously agreed-upon timeline to complete confirmatory diligence and submit a binding offer," said Mark Vachon, chairman of the bluebird bio Board of Directors. "bluebird has engaged with Ayrmid on two separate occasions—neither of which has resulted in a binding or fully-financed offer. After careful consideration with our financial and legal advisors, discussions with Hercules Capital, and taking into account that absent a significant infusion of capital, bluebird continues to be at significant risk of defaulting on its loan covenants, the Board unanimously reaffirms its support of the previously announced agreement with Carlyle and SK Capital in the strongest possible terms."

bluebird bio Announces That After Three Weeks Of Engagement, Ayrmid Has Not Submitted A Binding Proposal To Acquire Bluebird And Has Not Obtained Necessary Financing

Carlyle, SK Capital Partners, And Beacon Parent Holdings Announced That Beacon Merger Sub, Inc. Has Extended The Expiration Date Of Its Offer To Acquire All Of The Outstanding Common Stock Of Bluebird Bio, To Expire At One Minute After 11:59 P.M., New York City Time, On May 2, 2025

These past three months were not what U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/mergers-and-acquisitions">dealmakers wanted or expected</a>.
As of April 3, transaction tracker Dealogic showed zero percent growth in U.S.-based M&amp;A volume compared to last year&#8217;s first quarter.
Elsewhere? Volume is spiking triple digits.
<ul>
<li>The Middle East and Africa combined are seeing 123% growth in M&amp;A.</li>
<li>Japan: 105%</li>
<li>Asia: 103%</li>
</ul>
Deal volume is also up in Canada, Europe and Australia. Only in Latin America is it in the red, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/financial-advisors/25/03/44342234/deal-dispatch-trump-ma-boom-is-a-bust-purple-mattress-considers-sale-celtics-auction-heats-up">barely a peep</a> coming from the U.S.
For those keeping track of who correctly predicted this downtrend, don&#8217;t look to Bank of America. After Election Day, the firm&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/41979935/golden-years-for-ma-deals-ahead-under-trump-analysts-highlight-top-10-large-cap-candidates">analysts boldly predicted</a> that the then-incoming Trump administration would remove Federal Trade Commission chair Lina Khan and, presto, the antitrust roadblocks for M&amp;A activity would be removed.
Those analysts were wrong. Just 10 days after Trump&#8217;s inauguration, the U.S. Department of Justice <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/01/43353124/hewlett-packard-enterprise-shares-fall-as-us-department-of-justice-sues-to-block-juniper-acquisition">sued to block</a> Hewlett Packard Enterprise&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HPE#NYSE">HPE</a>) $14 billion deal to acquire networking gear maker Juniper Networks. In March, Surmodics, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SRDX#NASDAQ">SRDX</a>) <a href="https://julian-34159.medium.com/m-a-malaise-whats-behind-the-2025-deal-slowdown-8471a15b914c">saw its stock price fall</a> after the FTC challenged a proposed acquisition by private equity firm GTCR LLC.
Those BofA analysts also forgot that the previous Trump administration was not particularly lenient regarding consolidation. AT&amp;T and Time Warner; Sinclair and Tribune Media; Broadcom and Qualcomm; DraftKings and FanDuel — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/asset-sales/25/03/44202239/deal-dispatch-tiktok-walgreens-raizen">all blocked</a>.
On the shiny side, gold-related M&amp;A deals have increased, but transaction sizes are much smaller, Benzinga&#8217;s Stjepan Kalinic <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/03/44490949/gold-ma-deals-are-accelerating-but-average-deals-are-smaller-research-shows">wrote this week</a>.

Deal Dispatch: US M&A Is Quiet, But Abroad? Volume Is Spiking

Bluebird Bio Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLUE#NASDAQ">BLUE</a>) shares are trading higher Monday after the company received an unsolicited takeover <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44564776/gene-therapy-focused-bluebird-bio-receives-rival-takeover-offer-stock-jumps">offer from Ayrmid Ltd</a>.
What To Know: The offer includes an upfront cash payment of $4.50 per share and a one-time contingent value right of $6.84 per share payable upon achievement of net sales milestones.
The bid comes after Bluebird had already agreed in February to be acquired and taken private by Carlyle and SK Capital Partners for $3 per share in cash, with the same $6.84 contingent value right. 
Bluebird said it previously reviewed strategic alternatives and even engaged in discussions with Ayrmid, but Ayrmid did not submit a proposal at that time. The company's board is now reviewing the new offer with legal and financial advisors. Investors appear to be reacting to the possibility of a higher takeover price.
