Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Form 4 discloses that Chief Scientific Officer Percy H. Carter no longer holds Blueprint Medicines (BPMC) equity following the 17 July 2025 closing of the company’s merger with Sanofi. Under the Agreement and Plan of Merger, Sanofi’s subsidiary paid $129.00 in cash plus one contingent value right (CVR) for each BPMC share.

Equity conversions at the merger’s effective time ("Effective Time"):

  • Common stock: 21,353 performance-based PSUs were deemed earned (code A) and 56,614 shares were tendered (code D). Remaining 17,894 shares were also converted, leaving 0 shares beneficially owned.
  • Equity awards: 128,700 stock options (exercise prices $43.15-$96.57) were fully vested, cancelled and exchanged for the cash/CVR package.
  • All outstanding RSUs and the cash-settled portions of 2025 PSUs/RSUs/options will continue to vest in cash & CVRs as specified in the merger agreement.

The filing confirms mechanical settlement of insider holdings and signals completion of Sanofi’s acquisition, with Blueprint Medicines now an indirect wholly owned Sanofi subsidiary.

Positive
  • None.
Negative
  • None.

Insights

TL;DR All insider equity cancelled or tendered at $129 + CVR, confirming Sanofi’s takeover completion; no residual BPMC float for this officer.

The report is procedural but material. It verifies that the tender offer and back-end merger closed on 17 Jul 2025, triggering accelerated vesting of PSUs/RSUs and options (total options cancelled: 128,700). Cash consideration exceeds recent pre-offer trading ranges, validating deal premium. From a governance view, Carter’s exit position removes potential insider overhang. For investors, the main takeaway is that BPMC equity now converts to a cash/CVR instrument; equity trading in BPMC should cease once merger processing completes. Impact: neutral to slightly positive—deal completion was expected and already priced in.
