biogen, inc.

As sole financial advisor to Biogen, Goldman Sachs helped execute the largest-ever merger between independent biotech firms, creating Biogen Idec Inc., the world's third-largest biotechnology company.

Biogen and IDEC, each of which had a critical “blockbuster” drug fueling its future growth, saw a merger as an opportunity to create a biotechnology company with a broader product portfolio and a deeper pipeline. The new company expects to benefit from its significant clinical development and global marketing capabilities in both oncology and immunology.

The companies combined in a carefully crafted merger of equals that capitalized on their complementary strengths and preserved strong relationships with their licensing partners.
