ADVISERS to the $20.5bn-plus (£12.75bn) Sanofi-Aventis takeover of US biotech firm Genzyme will walk away with an estimated $125m in fees, corporate finance house Freeman & Co said yesterday.
Banking teams for both sides, which include JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs, will earn around $60m each for the nine months of work it took to close the deal.
Sanofi’s lead financial advisers – New York-based Evercore Partners and JPMorgan Chase – will earn $50m-60m, while Genzyme’s bankers, Credit Suisse and Goldman Sachs, should take home $53m-65m.
A further $120m of lending and M&A fees will be paid to JP Morgan and French banks BNP Paribas and Societe Generale, which arranged an estimated $15bn in loans for Sanofi, Freeman said.
