Illumina, Inc. (ILMN) suggested that its stockholders take no action at this time in response to announcement by Roche Holding AG (RHHBY.PK) that it is now offering to acquire Illumina for $51.00 per share in cash.
Earlier, on February 7, 2012, Illumina's Board of Directors rejected Roche's $44.50 per share cash tender offer and recommended that stockholders not tender their shares.
Illumina stated that its Board of Directors will thoroughly review Roche's revised proposal and make a recommendation to stockholders regarding the proposal in due course.
