Investigating Generation Bio: Are Shareholders Receiving a Fair Deal?
Investigation of Generation Bio Co.
Background
On December 15, 2025, the Ademi Firm announced its investigation into Generation Bio (Nasdaq: GBIO) regarding potential breaches of fiduciary duty. This investigation arises in light of Generation Bio's recent transaction with XOMA Royalty Corporation, which has raised concerns about how it may impact public shareholders.
The Transaction Details
As per the agreement, shareholders are set to receive $4.2913 in cash per share along with a contingent value right (CVR). The CVRs are structured to provide holders with additional benefits tied to potential excess cash beyond $29 million at the closing of the deal, possible savings from lease obligations of Generation Bio’s Cambridge office, and a share in the proceeds from the existing licensing agreement with Moderna. This agreement could yield development and commercial milestones and royalties.
However, internal dynamics indicate that Generation Bio insiders stand to gain substantial benefits under these change of control arrangements. This raises questions about the equity of the transaction and whether it favors insiders over the ordinary shareholders.
Concerns Over the Agreement
Additionally, the transaction agreement incorporates severe limitations on competing bids. Specifically, it enforces a hefty penalty should Generation Bio consider or accept an alternative offer. This clause has prompted the Ademi Firm to scrutinize whether the board of directors is upholding its fiduciary responsibilities to protect all shareholders' best interests.

The Ademi Firm specializes in litigating shareholder rights, particularly in scenarios involving mergers, buyouts, and other corporate transactions. Given the complexities of the situation, the firm encourages shareholders to join the investigation or reach out for further information.

This scrutiny by the Ademi Firm not only seeks to protect shareholders of Generation Bio but draws attention to broader issues of corporate governance and fiduciary duties across the industry.
