Rhea-AI Filing Summary

QOL Medical’s subsidiary has completed its cash tender offer for Evoke Pharma at $11.00 per share. The offer expired at one minute past 11:59 p.m. New York City time on December 15, 2025, with 1,164,862 shares validly tendered and not withdrawn, representing about 67.63% of Evoke’s outstanding common stock. Because this met the minimum tender condition and all other conditions were satisfied, QOL-EOS Merger Sub promptly accepted all tendered shares for payment.

On December 17, 2025, the purchaser completed a merger with Evoke under Section 251(h) of Delaware law without a shareholder meeting or vote, making Evoke a wholly owned subsidiary. Evoke’s shares stopped trading on Nasdaq before the market opened on December 17, 2025 and are being delisted, and QOL Medical plans to terminate Evoke’s Exchange Act registration and suspend its SEC reporting duties.

Insights

Evoke Pharma is being taken private after a successful $11 cash tender offer and follow-on merger.

The transaction centers on QOL-EOS Merger Sub’s offer to acquire all outstanding Evoke Pharma common shares for $11.00 per share in cash. By the offer expiration at one minute past 11:59 p.m. New York City time on December 15, 2025, shareholders had tendered 1,164,862 shares, about 67.63% of those outstanding. This level of participation satisfied the minimum condition and all other stated conditions, allowing the buyer to irrevocably accept all validly tendered shares.

Relying on Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the buyer then completed a back-end merger on December 17, 2025 without a shareholder vote. After the merger, Evoke became wholly owned, its shares ceased trading on Nasdaq before the market opened on that date, and steps are being taken to delist and terminate registration under the Exchange Act. For investors, this means Evoke’s public float and ongoing SEC reporting are ending, and the investment outcome is now defined by the cash consideration received in the tender and merger.
