Planned acquisition by Kuva Labs terminated due to financing failure, causing stock to plunge.

Lisata Therapeutics sank 16% after its planned sale to Kuva Labs was terminated. The termination occurred because Kuva Labs was unable to obtain sufficient financing to fund its takeover offer, according to an 8-K filing on Friday. As a result, Kuva is obligated to pay Lisata a termination fee of $2 million under the merger agreement. Lisata had announced in January that it entered into a binding term sheet with privately held Kuva Labs for an acquisition through a tender offer priced at $4.00 per share in cash.
