Market Chatter: 23andMe's Independent Directors Resign Over Weak Take-Private Offer
Sep 18, 2024 3:30 AM

05:00 AM EDT, 09/18/2024 (MT Newswires) -- 23andMe Holding's ( ME ) independent directors resigned after receiving an unsatisfactory take-private offer from Chief Executive Anne Wojcicki, Reuters reported Tuesday, citing an internal document.

Wojcicki is offering $0.40 per share for all outstanding shares, Reuters reported.

"After months of work, we have yet to receive from you a fully financed, fully diligenced, actionable proposal that is in the best interests of the non-affiliated shareholders," the seven independent directors said in a letter to Wojcicki, Reuters reported.

23andMe did not immediately reply to MT Newswires' request for comment.
