The transaction is structured as a tax-free all-stock merger of equals, where Indivior stockholders will own approximately 56.5% and Supernus stockholders will own 43.5% of the combined company. The new entity will operate under the name Supernus, Inc. and is set to list on the Nasdaq exchange under the ticker SUPN.
