BioNTech SE is pursuing the acquisition of CureVac N.V. via a commenced exchange offer for all outstanding CureVac shares. To facilitate the share-for-ADS exchange, BioNTech has filed a Form F-4 registration statement (including an Exchange Offer Prospectus) and a Schedule TO, while CureVac has filed a Schedule 14D-9. The F-4 has not yet been declared effective by the SEC.

The transaction remains subject to customary conditions, including tender levels and required regulatory approvals, and the parties cite risks such as competing proposals, litigation costs, and potential delays. In Europe, an EU Prospectus has been approved by BaFin for use in Austria, Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Spain, and a UK exemption document has been published. Investors can access the SEC and regional offering documents free of charge through company websites and the SEC’s database.

In Europa, un EU Prospectus è stato approvato dalla BaFin per l'uso in Austria, Germania, Francia, Italia, Paesi Bassi e Spagna, e è stato pubblicato un documento di esenzione per il Regno Unito.

Insights

Exchange offer launched; filings in place, effectiveness and tenders pending.

BioNTech has commenced an exchange offer to acquire all CureVac shares, registering BioNTech ADSs via a Form F-4. A Schedule TO and Schedule 14D-9 are on file, indicating the deal is procedurally advancing but still awaiting SEC effectiveness of the F-4 and fulfillment of offer conditions.

Completion depends on regulatory approvals, shareholder tenders, and the absence of superior proposals. The disclosure flags risks including potential litigation, transaction costs, and operational distraction, as well as macro factors like interest rates and geopolitical events.

In Europe, the EU Prospectus has BaFin approval for specified countries, and the UK has a published exemption document. Subsequent filings may provide the exchange ratio, acceptance levels, and timing milestones that determine closing.
