Variagenics Rebuffs Acacia Offer; Backs Hyseq Merger

Tuesday January 21, 11:17 am ET

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (Dow Jones)--Variagenics Inc. rebuffed an unsolicited offer from Acacia Research Corp. and urged Variagenics shareholders to approve an existing merger plan with Hyseq Pharmaceuticals Inc.

Variagenics said in a press release Tuesday that it received the offer Thursday from Acacia Research's CombiMatrix unit. Variagenics, which is developing genetic tests for different kinds of cancer, said its board stood by the original plan after reviewing concerns about Acacia's capital structure, liquidity and whether Acacia's biochip technology platform would find commercial success.

Variagenics said Nov. 11 that it agreed to be acquired by Hyseq for $55.9 million in stock.
