Earlier today Allergan Inc. (AGN), the maker of the wrinkle filler Botox, agreed to buy Map Pharmaceuticals Inc.

Based on this deal Allergan will pay Map investors $25 a share, a 60 percent premium over yesterday's closing price in New York for which the boards of both companies unanimously approved of. The deal is expected to close late in the first quarter or in the second quarter.
Map is seeking U.S. regulatory approval of Levadex for patients who have acute attacks, defined as fewer than 15 a month.
