AstraZeneca PLC said Tuesday that it is buying TeneoTwo, Inc. for up to $1.27 billion in a deal that strengthens its haematological cancer pipeline.

The pharmaceutical giant said it will make an upfront payment of $100 million upon closing of the deal. A further payment of up to $805 million will be made dependent upon research-and-development milestones being reached and extra payments of up to $360 million could be payable to TeneoTwo shareholders based upon commercial-related milestones.

Astra said the acquisition is expected to close in the third quarter of this year and that it doesn't impact financial guidance for the year.
