Theravance Biopharma merger cancels 37,500 options
The merger terms provided $17 cash and one non-tradeable CVR per ordinary share; an option above the cash price received no consideration.
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Theravance Biopharma, Inc. (TBPH) became a wholly owned subsidiary of Zymeworks Inc. on September 23, 2026, when the merger took effect. Aine Miller, SVP, DEV & HEAD OF IRE OFFICE, reported that 93,108 ordinary shares were canceled for $17 cash and one contingent value right (CVR) per share; RSU awards covering 96,718 ordinary shares were converted under the same per-share terms, subject to required tax withholding.
Miller also reported cancellation of 37,500 options with a $25.42 exercise price. Because that price exceeded the $17 cash consideration, the options ceased to exist without consideration. Each CVR is non-tradeable and may pay cash based on commercial milestones after the merger. No Rule 10b5-1 plan is reported.

- F1. On September 23, 2026, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), dated June 28, 2026, by and among the Issuer, Zymeworks Inc. ("Parent"), and Zymeworks Merger Sub 1, a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, the Issuer became a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the "Merger"). At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each ordinary share, par value $0.00001 per share, of the Issuer ("Ordinary Share") held by the reporting person as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled and converted into the right to receive (i) $17.00 in cash, without interest (the "Per Share Cash Consideration") and (ii) one contingent value right (a "CVR"). Each CVR represents a non-tradeable contractual contingent right to receive cash payments based on the achievement of certain commercial milestones following the Effective Time.
- F2. At the Effective Time, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each award of restricted stock units of the Issuer (a "Company RSU Award") that was outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to (i) the Per Share Cash Consideration multiplied by (ii) the number of Ordinary Shares underlying such Company RSU Award (subject to any required tax withholdings as provided in the Merger Agreement) plus (iii) one CVR for each Ordinary Share underlying such Company RSU Award.
- F3. At the Effective Time, each option to purchase Ordinary Shares outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested (a "Company Option"), was cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to (i) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Cash Consideration over the exercise price of such Company Option, multiplied by (ii) the number of Ordinary Shares underlying such Company Option plus (iii) one CVR for each Ordinary Share underlying such Company Option. However, any Company Option that has an exercise price per Ordinary Share that is greater than or equal to the Per Share Cash Consideration was cancelled and ceased to exist and the holder of any such Company Option was not entitled to payment of any consideration therefor.
