TOKYO -- Takeda Pharmaceutical announced on Monday it will issue approximately 770.3 million new shares as compensation for the acquisition of its Irish peer Shire. Takeda's shares will double from their current number, enabling the Japanese company to obtain all Shire shares held by shareholders, combined with newly issued stock and cash.
The acquisition will be completed on Tuesday, with the total acquisition fee expected to hit 6 trillion yen ($55 billion).

After the Shire deal, which closes on Tuesday, Takeda will have a stronger pipeline and be counted among the top 10 drugmakers by sales globally.
But it will also become one of the world’s most indebted and has plans to sell up to $10 billion in non-core assets.
