Angelini Pharma Acquires Catalyst for US$4.1b With FIRDAPSE Patent Clarity Until 2035 Angelini Pharma has agreed to acquire Catalyst Pharmaceuticals in an all-cash deal valued at about US$4.1b, implying a 21 to 28% premium to recent trading levels.
The acquisition is targeted to close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to shareholder votes and regulatory reviews.
Catalyst and licensor SERB settled patent litigation with Hetero Labs, allowing a generic FIRDAPSE launch in the US from January 2035, pending FDA approval.
For you as an investor, the agreed all-cash acquisition price sets a clear reference point for Catalyst’s equity value, assuming the transaction closes as outlined. The deal also signals Angelini’s interest in Catalyst’s rare neuromuscular and neurological disease portfolio, including FIRDAPSE, as a platform for entering the US market and expanding its brain health focus.
The patent settlement with Hetero is important because it defines a specific timeline for potential US generic competition to FIRDAPSE. With litigation now resolved and a date set for possible generic entry, you have more clarity on how long FIRDAPSE may remain protected from this particular competitor, subject to regulatory review and any other market factors that may emerge.

Angelini Pharma Reportedly Explores A Potential Acquisition of Catalyst Pharmaceuticals Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NasdaqCM:CPRX) surged nearly 20% on April 27, 2026, after a report that Italy-based Angelini Pharma S.p.a. is exploring a potential acquisition of the company. The sharp move reflects renewed investor enthusiasm around merger-and-acquisition activity in the biotech sector, where mid-cap specialty drugmakers like Catalyst often become attractive targets for larger or privately held pharmaceutical groups seeking growth. According to a Bloomberg report citing sources familiar with the matter, Angelini Pharma is working with financial advisers as it evaluates a possible bid for Catalyst, which currently carries a market capitalization of $3.3 billion. While the discussions are said to be in early stages, the mere possibility of a deal was enough to trigger a strong rally in Catalyst’s shares, underscoring how sensitive biotech valuations are to takeover speculation. Angelini Pharma, part of the privately held Angelini Industries group, has been increasingly vocal about its ambitions to expand beyond its core European markets. In a statement, a company representative emphasized that evaluating growth opportunities—including acquisitions—is a central component of its long-term strategy. However, the company stopped short of confirming any specific interest in Catalyst, noting that there is no guarantee ongoing evaluations will lead to a transaction. Still, several uncertainties remain. Angelini is reportedly reviewing multiple acquisition targets, meaning Catalyst is not the only option on the table. Additionally, valuation considerations, regulatory hurdles, and strategic fit will all play critical roles in determining whether talks progress. Reported Earnings • Feb 26

Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Announces National Comprehensive Cancer Network Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines) for Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) now include new additions involving Lambert Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS), amifampridine (FIRDAPSE), and the tests for PQ- and N-type voltage-gated calcium channel (VGCC) antibodies. The updated NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncologists for SCLC relating to LEMS now include symptom specificity--characterized by proximal muscle weakness and autonomic dysfunction. Under "Signs and Symptoms of Small Cell Lung Cancer" (SCL-A 2 of 2), the guidelines recommend diagnosis through a neurological evaluation, ideally in consultation with a neurologist, which may include testing for PQ- and N -type voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC) antibodies. Additionally, under "Prin principles of Supportive Care" (SCL-D), the guidelines recommend that amifampridine should be considered as a treatment in consultation with neurology. Approximately 50% of LEMS cases are associated with an underlying malignancy, most commonly SCLC.ature suggests that LEMS is observed in 3% of SCLC patients. Based on an internal healthcare database analysis of SCLC claims, potentially 90% of LEMS patients with SCLC went undiagnosed. These undiagnosed LEMS patients may suffer from LEMS symptoms while undergoing treatment for SCLC. Duyuru • Aug 05

Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Announces Sub- Licensee DyDo Pharma Launches Firapse®? in Japan Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. reported that its sub-licensee in Japan, DyDo Pharma, Inc., ("DyDo") has launched FIRDAPSE®? (amifampridine) Tablets 10 mg in Japan for the indication of improving muscle weakness in patients living with Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome ("LEMS").FIRDAPSE (amifampridine), is the only U.S. FDA approved, evidence-based therapy for the treatment of LEMS in adults and pediatric patients six years of age and older. LEMS is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by muscle weakness and fatigue. As a cornerstone of Catalyst's commitment to serving those with rare diseases, FIRDAPSE is supported in the U.S. by a comprehensive patient support program to help ensure accessibility and assistance for eligible U.S. patients.FIRDAPSE®? (AMifampridine) tablets 10 mg is an oral, nonspecific, voltage-dependent, potassium (K+) channel blocker that causes depolarization of the presynaptic membrane and slows or inhibits repolarization. This action results in the opening of slow voltage-dependent calcium (Ca2+) channels, allowing for a subsequent influx of Ca2+. In turn, it induces the exocytosis of synaptic vesicles containing acetylcholine (ACh) to release more ACh into the synaptic cleft, enhancing neuromuscular transmission and providing for improved muscle function. Amifampridine phosphate was granted orphan drug designation by the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare in Japan, and FIRDAPSE has previously been approved for use in the U.S. in adults and pediatric patients six months of age and older and in Europe and Canada for the treatment of adults with LEMS.

Catalyst Pharmaceuticals Announces Agamree® Now Commercially Available in the U.S. for the Treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (Dmd) Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced the U.S. commercial launch of AGAMREE® (vamorolone) oral suspension 40 mg/mL for the treatment of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy ("DMD") in patients aged two years and older. Following the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approval on October 26, 2023, AGAMREE is now available by prescription and dispensed throughout the United States through a specialty pharmacy network. Catalyst Pathways® Patient Assistance Program for AGAMREE® is a comprehensive patient support program that includes a dedicated, personalized support team that assists families throughout the AGAMREE treatment journey for eligible patients. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, DMD, the most common form of muscular dystrophy, is a rare and life-threatening neuromuscular disorder characterized by progressive muscle dysfunction, ultimately leading to loss of ambulation, respiratory failure, and fatality. Current standard treatment for DMD involves corticosteroids, which often come with significant side effects. It is estimated that between 11,000 and 13,000 patients in the U.S. are affected by DMD, with approximately 70% of patients currently receiving a corticosteroid treatment. Steroids are expected to remain the backbone of therapy for DMD patients and dosed concomitantly with other therapies. The FDA's approval of AGAMREE® was based on the data from the pivotal Phase 2b VISION-DMD study as supplemented with safety information collected from three open-label studies, including extension studies. In these trials, AGAMREE was administered at doses ranging from 2 to 6 mg/kg/day, extending for up to 48 months. Compared with current standard-of-care corticosteroids, this novel corticosteroid treatment exhibited comparable efficacy, with data suggesting a reduction in adverse events, notably related to bone health, growth trajectory, and improved behavior.

Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Provides Revenue Guidance for the Year 2024 Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. provided revenue guidance for the year 2024. For the period, the Company expects total revenues in 2024 within the range of $455 million and $475 million, reflecting net product revenue of approximately $295 million to $310 million for FIRDAPSE, AGAMREE net product revenue of approximately $25 million to $30 million, and FYCOMPA net product revenue of approximately $130 million to $135 million. Product revenue for FYCOMPA in 2024 will be affected by differences in variable consideration (gross-to-net) compared to 2023, when revenues were booked under Eisai’s cost arrangements with distributors and government authorities. Starting on January 1, 2024, all such costs are tied to arrangements between the Company and those distributors and government agencies, which costs are likely to be higher than Eisai’s costs, thereby increasing the gross-to-net deductions for FYCOMPA and correspondingly decreasing FYCOMPA net product revenue.
