<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New On The Block</h2>
<ul>
<li>Sage Therapeutics, Inc. NASDAQ: SAGE) is officially exploring "strategic alternatives" to make shareholders happy. The process includes anything from a possible business combination to a full-on sale. Who&#8217;s interested? That would be Biogen Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIIB#NASDAQ">BIIB</a>), which submitted an unsolicited offer Sage rejected. Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Sage is known for its ZURZUVAE treatment for women with PPD. Goldman Sachs is providing financial advice and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher &amp; Flom LLP oversees legal matters. </li>
<li>Silvus Technologies, a Los Angeles-based mobile telecom owned by TJC, hired Morgan Stanley to explore a sale or initial public offering. TJC could seek a valuation of as much as $5 billion for Silvus, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-30/tjc-is-said-to-weigh-sale-ipo-of-radio-tech-provider-silvus">reported</a> citing sources. TJC, aka The Jordan Company purchased Silvus in December 2019. </li>
<li>Allakos Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALLK#NASDAQ">ALLK</a>) is shutting down its AK006 program, leading to a major downsizing — about 75% of the company will be laid off. The biotech plans to keep around 15 employees to explore strategic alternatives, which CEO Robert Alexander described as "the usual things," according <a href="https://www.fiercebiotech.com/biotech/allakos-axes-program-lays-75-staff-and-seeks-strategic-alternatives-after-phase-1-flop">to</a> Fierce Biotech. The move will significantly deplete Allakos' cash reserves, which stood at $81 million at the end of last year. The company expects to spend $34 million to $38 million on severance and restructuring costs, leaving it with just $35 million to $40 million in reserves by mid-year. The pressure is on to find a new strategic direction quickly.</li>
