The deal was the second largest buyout deal this year, the first was Sanofi (SNY) buy Bioverativ Inc (BIVV) for $11.6 billion.  There are a total of seven major acquisition for the biotechnology sector in 2018. The other six were Bioverativ Inc (BIVV), Juno Therapeutics Inc (JUNO), Cascadian Therapeutics Inc (CASC), AveXis Inc (AVXS), ARMO Biosciences (ARMO),  and Foundation Medicine Inc (FMI).
