by Taylor Williams December 7, 2020

INDIANAPOLIS — Elanco Animal Health Inc. (NYSE: ELAN), a pharmaceutical company that produces medicines and vaccinations for pets and livestock, has selected Indianapolis for its new $100 million global headquarters. Elanco is currently headquartered in Greenfield, approximately 25 miles east of Indianapolis. The company’s new headquarters campus will be located on a 45-acre site on the southwestern side of downtown Indianapolis that formerly served as a stamping plant for General Motors. The plant closed in 2011, and developer Ambrose purchased the site with plans to build a mixed-use community, according to The Indianapolis Star. Ambrose officially canceled those plans in September 2019. Project planning will begin immediately, with construction anticipated to last two to three years. Elanco’s new facility is expected to add as many as 570 permanent new jobs to the local economy. The move represents an effort to cut costs while consolidating Elanco’s global footprint after the company’s August acquisition of Bayer’s animal health business. The Star reports that the acquisition was valued at roughly $6.9 billion. Elanco’s new campus will feature a smaller, more flexible design as a result of COVID-19. The company says it envisions a more efficient campus with at least 25 percent less office space than its …

by Taylor Williams November 16, 2020

INDIANAPOLIS AND BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MICH. — Simon Property Group (NYSE: SPG) and Taubman Centers Inc. (NYSE: TCO) have modified their merger agreement to include a new purchase price of $43 per share, enabling Simon to proceed with its acquisition of an 80 percent interest in Taubman. CNBC reports that the decline in the agreed-upon share price from $52.50 per share effectively reduces the price tag of the deal by $800 million. This announcement comes just as the two regional mall REITs were set to square off in Circuit Court for the Sixth Judicial District of Oakland County (Michigan), litigation that has since been settled. Analysts at Piper Sandler, a Minnesota-based investment banking firm, expressed surprise at the ability of the two owner-operators to resolve the price disagreement ahead of today’s court hearing. “We thought any settlement or price cut would occur after the judge’s ruling,” the firm wrote. “Ultimately, Simon Property Group saves approximately $700 million in cash on the recut of the deal, offset by obligatory legal fees, which totaled $18 million in the third quarter.
