Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Supernus Pharmaceuticals and Indivior plan an all‑stock, tax‑free merger of equals to create a CNS‑focused biopharmaceutical company. Supernus shareholders will receive 1.5401 Indivior shares for each Supernus share. Before closing, Indivior will pay a $1 billion aggregate dividend to its pre‑closing stockholders. At closing, Indivior holders are expected to own 56.5% of the combined company and Supernus holders 43.5% on a fully diluted basis, with about 250 million pro forma shares outstanding.
The combined company, to be named Supernus and headquartered in Rockville, Maryland, had trailing 12‑month pro forma net revenue of $2.2 billion and pro forma adjusted EBITDA of $888 million as of June 30 2026, including $125 million of expected annual cost synergies, largely from G&A and operational efficiencies. Pro forma adjusted EBITDA margin is about 41%, with pro forma net debt of $878 million and net leverage of roughly 1x.
The portfolio will span 11 medicines across addiction, ADHD, depression and Parkinson’s disease, with Sublocade contributing about 44% of pro forma net revenue and five highlighted growth products (Sublocade, Qelbree, Zurzuvae, Gocovri and Onapgo).
