The ResApp Health Ltd (ASX: RAP) share price won't be going anywhere on Tuesday.
This comes as the company requested its shares be placed in a trading halt.
At the time of writing, shares in the digital health company are frozen at 11 cents apiece.
Details of the ResApp share price halt
Prior to the market opening, the company requested trading in its shares be halted while it prepares an announcement.
According to the company's release, ResApp is planning to provide an update regarding a proposed acquisition by Pfizer Australia.
The global biopharmaceutical giant offered to purchase ResApp for 11.5 cents per share in cash. In total, this represents an equity value of around $100 million.
Following the proposal, ResApp's directors unanimously recommended its shareholders vote in favour of the scheme of arrangement.
However, for the deal to go ahead, certain regulatory approvals need to be met. This includes being given the nod from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).
ResApp has requested the trading halt remains in place until Thursday 2 June or when the announcement is made, whichever comes first.
