Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Y-mAbs Therapeutics completed a merger on September 16, 2025 that resulted in all outstanding common shares and equity awards being cashed out. Under the Merger Agreement, each share was exchanged for $8.60 in cash and the company became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Perseus BidCo US, Inc. and its ultimate parent. The reporting person, Thomas Gad, disposed of or had converted into cash his directly and indirectly held common stock, restricted stock units, performance RSUs and stock options; following the transactions the report shows zero shares beneficially owned. Options with exercise prices equal to or above $8.60 were cancelled for no consideration, while other vested and unvested awards were converted into cash per the agreement.

Positive

  • Merger completed with each share exchanged for $8.60 cash per share.
  • All outstanding equity awards were settled in cash, providing immediate liquidity to holders.
  • Issuer became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Perseus BidCo US and Ultimate Parent, completing the take-private.

Negative

  • Reporting person’s beneficial ownership reduced to zero following the merger.
  • Options with exercise prices equal to or above $8.60 were cancelled for no consideration, eliminating upside for those option holders.

Insights

TL;DR: The company was acquired for $8.60 per share and equity awards were cashed out, effecting a take-private transaction.

The Form 4 documents the mechanical outcomes for an insider following a tender offer and merger: shares, RSUs, PRSUs and options were either cashed out or cancelled per the Merger Agreement. The $8.60 per-share cash consideration is the controlling metric and drove the settlement values for awards. From a transaction-structure perspective, conversion of options and RSUs into cash simplifies post-close cap table management for the acquirer but eliminates residual upside for former holders. This is a routine equity settlement in a change-of-control where the purchaser gains full control.

TL;DR: Insider disclosures show full disposition/settlement of holdings and typical governance treatment of awards at closing.

The Form 4 provides clear disclosure of the reporting person's direct and indirect holdings and confirms governance mechanics: the issuer continued as the surviving corporation and became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, and awards were handled in accordance with the Merger Agreement. The filing notes that options with exercise prices at or above the merger price were cancelled without consideration, which is material to option holders. The signature by attorney-in-fact indicates the filing was executed on the insider's behalf.
