>>9:50AM Anormed: Genzyme announces proposal to increase its offer to acquire AnorMED to $13.50 per share in cash (ANOR) 13.35 : Genzyme (GENZ) announces that it has informed the Board of Directors of ANOR that it is prepared to increase its offer to acquire all outstanding shares of ANOR to US $13.50 per share, or approximately $580 mln, contingent upon ANOR executing a support agreement with GENZ. GENZ says this proposal represents a premium of 12.5% over the purchase price proposed by Millennium Pharmaceuticals (MLNM) on September 26, 2006. (ANOR IS halted)<<

From Briefing.com

It appears MLNM is halted, too.

Edit: Found the right 14-D9 or sumthin at EDGAR, from which this is excerpted:

"The Support Agreement provides for the payment to Millennium by AnorMED, upon the occurrence of certain events, including the acceptance by the Board of Directors of a superior proposal that Millennium has not matched, of a fee of U.S.$19.5 million."

Hey, we'll take a quick $20 million, sure.

MLNM appears to be trading again, and oddly, isn't moving much.

Cheers, Tuck
