On September 22, 2014, two companies announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which Merck KGaA ("Merck") will acquire Sigma-Aldrich in a merger in a deal worth $17 billion. As a result of the merger, Sigma-Aldrich shareholders are only anticipated to receive $140.00 per share in cash in exchange for each share of Sigma-Aldrich. The $140.00 per share consideration is low when comparing recent premiums for pharmaceutical companies.
On September 25, 2014, a Sigma-Aldrich shareholder filed a class action complaint that challenges Sigma-Aldrich's merger with Merck. The complaint was filed in the Circuit Court for St. Louis County Missouri.
