23andMe CEO Anne Wojcicki Says She’s Weighing Buyout Bid

23andMe CEO Anne Wojcicki Says She’s Weighing Buyout Bid

In what looks like a potentially downbeat ending to 23andMe journey as a public company, founder and CEO Anne Wojcicki has offered to take the DNA testing business private. Wojcicki, who controls more than 20% of 23andMe’s stock, with about 49% voting control, told the company that she is considering making an offer to buy the shares she doesn’t already own. Neither Wojcicki nor the company have commented on what she might be willing to pay, but investors appear skeptical that it will come at a premium price.
