LSP's portfolio company Prosensa receives tender offer from BioMarin



Through the attached press release we are very happy to announce the agreement between BioMarin and Prosensa  on the intended public offer for 100% of Prosensa’s outstanding stock. The total deal size is around $ 840 million of which $ 680 million is in cash. LSP was the lead investor in the series A round and still is the largest shareholder in Prosensa. We believe the Prosensa/Biomarin transaction is another illustration of the potential of science developed in The Netherlands, one of the core focus areas, together with Belgium and the German speaking countries, where LSP executes its long standing investment strategy.
