$354M ex­it pack­age in hand, Medi­va­tion CEO David Hung com­pletes a mas­ter class in biotech auc­tions

Now that Medi­va­tion CEO David Hung has com­plet­ed the deal of a life­time with a stratos­pher­ic buy­out, he’s grab­bing a $35 mil­lion gold­en para­chute that is sched­uled to burst open in about a month and car­ry him back down to earth in style. And that’s part of a $354 mil­lion pack­age of stock and op­tions he can now cash out of.

The de­tails on the gold­en para­chute — along with a blow-by-blow ac­count of the bid­ding process that led up to Pfiz­er’s $14 bil­lion win­ner — were all in­clud­ed in an SEC fil­ing on Tues­day. And it makes for re­quired read­ing for any biotech ex­ec look­ing to make the big score some sun­ny day.
