Astellas Pharma Inc. -- Moody's reviews Astellas Pharma's A1 ratings for downgrade
Moody's Japan K.K. has placed Astellas Pharma Inc.'s A1 issuer ratings under review for downgrade. The rating action follows Astellas' announcement on 3 December 2019 that it had entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the entire stock of Audentes Therapeutics, Inc. for approximately USD3 billion. "This acquisition indicates an urgency for Astellas to feed its long term product pipeline after a wave of patent expiries this year, and signals a rise in acquisition event risk," says Akifumi Fukushi, a Moody's Vice President and Senior Analyst.
