Why Roche seeks to own 100% of Genentech?
Roche seeks to buy the 100% of the Genentech, the main purpose to own the 100% is to merge both the companies and exploit the opportunities that are available in the market.
Roche already holds the 56% of the Genentech, now it seeks remaining 44% of the Genentech.
It holds the major stakes in the company since 1991, and since then the partnership is considered as one of the most successful in the pharmaceutical industry.
In. the pharmaceutical industry, less innovative products are emerging and this result in the merger and acquisitions of the companies in the respective industry.
The strategy behind owning the 100% of the Genentech is to develop the innovative products that would lead to the higher growth.
That’s why Roche decided to make horizontal integration and achieve the Genentech potential market as it provides the benefits of successful synergies and ensures the growth and reduces risk. Along with this, it results in competitive strengths for other companies, if synergy is paid lower than the premium price.

What are Roche responsibilities to minority shareholders of Genentech?
According to the affiliate program that was signed in 1999, it clearly states the obligation to the minority shareholders. It states that in the hostile bid in which company would get 90% or more than that of Genentech’s shares and can hold for 2 months, the company was obliged to squeeze-out the existing shareholders of the company.
As mentioned in the case that most of the minority shareholders are the employees of the company, so it is the duty of Roche to explain the benefits of the merger to the employees or we can say minority shareholders and it also have to mention that how they are going to retain the employees of the company.
