대통령 조 바이든은 백악관에서의 마지막 며칠 동안 비폭력 마약 범죄자 석방를 우선시했지만, 틱톡? 이제는 대통령 당선자 도널드 트럼프의 문제이다. AP 통신에 따르면, 바이든은 금지 조치를 시행할 의사가 없으며, 이는 그의 마지막 정식 근무일인 1월 19일에 발효되고 트럼프의 취임식 하루 전이다.

That's President-elect Donald Trump's problem now. 
According to the <a href="https://apnews.com/article/tiktok-ban-trump-executive-order-1e95d9836bf6f8c0c245ed1c3234d968">Associated Press</a>, Biden has no intention of enforcing the ban, which takes effect on his last full day in office, Jan. 19, and one day <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/42995328/trump-inauguration-from-elon-musk-jeff-bezos-to-barack-obama-george-bush-and-bill-clinton-who-all-will-attend">before Trump&#8217;s inauguration</a>.
With a deadline looming, the app's fate lands in the hands of the so-called People's Bid for TikTok—backed by none other than Kevin O'Leary of &#8220;Shark Tank&#8221; and billionaire Frank McCourt. Apparently, TikTok's U.S. assets are still up for grabs, but no word yet on the price tag or whether a deal can realistically get done <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/43060894/supreme-court-upholds-tiktok-ban-ahead-of-trumps-inauguration">in a few days</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bankruptcy Block</h2>
Joann Inc. is stitching together a bankruptcy plan for the second time within 12 months. The Ohio-based fabric and crafts retailer is seeking a buyer for its portfolio of some 800 stores. 
Gordon Brothers Retail Partners emerged as the &#8220;stalking horse&#8221; bidder, but Joann remains hopeful for better offers—perhaps from someone who knows how to thread the needle.
Previously, the 82-year-old retailer was under the stewardship of private equity firm Leonard Green &amp; Partners, which acquired it via a $1.6 billion leveraged buyout in 2011. The firm buried the company under a pile of debt (<a href="https://wolfstreet.com/2024/03/18/brick-and-mortar-meltdown-fells-another-retailer-joann-inc-files-for-bankruptcy-3-years-after-ipo/">reportedly</a> $921 million in long-term debt as of Oct. 31, 2020) and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/03/20048728/ipo-preview-roblox-coupang-joann-lead-busy-week-of-offerings">sent it public in 2021</a>. 
Joann went private again in <a href="https://apnews.com/article/joann-bankruptcy-chapter-11-filing-75093d4032907c59a45e472dd4e23229">March</a> 2024 while under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The company managed to reduce its $1 billion total debt by about $500 million at the time.
Despite efforts to save itself last year, Joann is joining the growing quilt of recent retail casualties: Party City, Big Lots, LL Flooring, The Body Shop and The Container Store <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/12/42710619/deal-dispatch-party-city-wraps-big-lots-goes-bust-container-store-continues">to name a few</a>.
Kirkland &amp; Ellis is handling legal matters, while Centerview Partners LLC offers financial advice. Alvarez &amp; Marsal North America, LLC is overseeing the restructuring process.

12 Health Care Stocks Moving In Monday's Pre-Market Session

Biogen Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIIB#NASDAQ">BIIB</a>) submitted an unsolicited bid to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Sage Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAGE#NASDAQ">SAGE</a>) that it does not already owned by Biogen <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/42946734/why-is-depression-focused-sage-therapeutics-stock-surging-higher-on-monday" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">for $7.22 per share</a>.
Goldman Sachs analyst Salveen Richter believes the proposal makes strategic sense, considering the financial success of the Zurzuvae launch for postpartum depression (PPD).
Biogen says Zurzuvae exceeded its expectations.

Goldman Sachs estimates Zurzuvae could reach global peak sales of approximately $700 million for PPD by 2034.
Richter notes that investors remain focused on Biogen&#8217;s growth strategies. This includes expanding its pipeline, pursuing external business development, or leveraging new opportunities to counter declining revenue in the latter <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BIIB/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">half of the decade</a>.
During the third quarter earnings call, management highlighted the potential for an $8 billion to $10 billion deal within the next two years, primarily focusing on rare diseases and immunology.
They also emphasized continued interest in neurology while acknowledging the strength of Biogen&#8217;s immunology capabilities from its multiple sclerosis franchise and the need to diversify further.
William Blair has consistently seen Zurzuvae&#8217;s role in treating postpartum depression as less significant to Biogen&#8217;s overall value. Instead, the firm prioritizes the progress of Biogen&#8217;s late-stage programs and improvements in Leqembi&#8217;s treatment profile.
Analyst Myles Minter suggests that while the deal may not boost Biogen&#8217;s stock, it provides a smart strategy for marketing Zurzuvae and maximizing its value.
If the deal is finalized, Biogen should consider acquiring more companies in the neuropsychiatry field to strengthen its collaboration with Zurzuvae, Minter says.
Price Action: Biogen stock is up 0.34% at $150.32 at last check Monday.

On Wednesday, Sage Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAGE#NASDAQ">SAGE</a>)&nbsp;revealed topline results from the Phase 2 DIMENSION Study of dalzanemdor (SAGE-718) in participants with cognitive impairment (CI) associated with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/b42084056/sage-therapeutics-announces-topline-results-from-the-phase-2-dimension-study-of-dalzanemdor-sage-7" rel="noreferrer noopener">Huntington&#8217;s Disease (HD)</a>, an inherited brain disorder that causes nerve cells in the brain to break down and die.
In the study, dalzanemdor did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference versus placebo on the primary endpoint, the change from baseline on the Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) at Day 84.

SDMT is used for cognitive evaluation, and measures sustained attention, processing speed, visual scanning, and motor speed.&nbsp;
Analyses of secondary endpoints did not demonstrate statistically significant or clinically meaningful differences in participants treated with dalzanemdor compared to placebo.
Based on these results, the company does not plan to develop dalzanemdor further.
&#8220;We are disappointed by the results of the DIMENSION Study,&#8221; said Barry Greene, Chief Executive Officer of Sage Therapeutics.
Dalzanemdor was generally well-tolerated, and no new safety signals were observed. The majority of treatment-emergent adverse events were mild to moderate in severity.
Given these findings, the company will also close the ongoing PURVIEW Study, an open-label safety study of dalzanemdor in participants with HD.
In October, Sage Therapeutics released topline results from the Phase 2 LIGHTWAVE study to evaluate the effects of dalzanemdor (SAGE-718) in participants with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild dementia due to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/10/41228587/after-disappointing-parkinsons-data-sage-therapeutics-dalzanemdor-flunks-mid-stage-alzheimers-stu" rel="noreferrer noopener">Alzheimer's Disease (AD)</a>.
The LIGHTWAVE Study did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference from baseline in participants treated with dalzanemdor versus placebo on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale Fourth Edition (WAIS-IV) Coding Test score at Day 84, the study's primary outcome measure.
Price Action: SAGE stock is up 1.63% at $4.99 at last check Wednesday.
