Revance Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:RVNC), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in pharmaceutical preparations with a market capitalization of $413 million, announced today that it has agreed to further postpone the commencement of a tender offer for its outstanding common stock shares. According to InvestingPro analysis, while the company shows strong revenue growth of 26% year-over-year, it currently trades below its Fair Value. This decision comes as the company continues discussions with Crown Laboratories, Inc. and Reba Merger Sub, Inc., collectively known as the Buyer Parties.
The tender offer, which was initially set to begin by December 5, 2024, as per the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated August 11, 2024, is now extended to December 9, 2024, or another mutually agreed-upon date. The stock has shown resilience amid these negotiations, posting a 10% gain over the past week, though it remains 53% lower year-to-date. This extension, detailed in a waiver to the original Merger Agreement, reflects ongoing negotiations that could potentially lead to changes in the offer's terms, including price adjustments.
Revance's discussions with the Buyer Parties may result in further delays or modifications to the commencement or completion of the tender offer. InvestingPro data shows the company maintains strong liquidity with a current ratio of 4.12, indicating sufficient assets to meet short-term obligations during this transition period.
The company has made it clear that the ongoing negotiations could affect the terms of the Merger Agreement and that any changes would be in accordance with the remedies and modifications allowed under the agreement.
The company's statement also included a cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements, reminding investors that actual outcomes could vary significantly due to various risks and uncertainties associated with the tender offer and merger process.

Revance is also currently undergoing a merger with Crown Laboratories, a private global skincare company, in a deal valued at approximately $924 million. However, this proposed merger has led to downgrades of Revance's stock rating by William Blair and Stifel to Market Perform and Hold, respectively. Despite these downgrades, Mizuho (NYSE:MFG) maintains a Neutral rating on Revance shares.
In addition to these developments, Revance has announced multiple extensions to the commencement date of a tender offer related to its ongoing merger discussions. These extensions, due to ongoing discussions with both Crown Laboratories and Teoxane SA, suggest potential modifications to the merger agreement terms, including the offer price.
