ZymoGenetics, Mitcham: Volume Movers

BOSTON (TheStreet) -- ZymoGenetics (ZGEN) was one of several stocks trading below $10 poised to move on above-average volume Wednesday after the biotech company said it will be acquired in a $885 million deal.

ZymoGenetics rallied sharply after Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY) agreed to pay $9.75 a share for the biotech company, an 84% premium. Bristol-Myers said the deal gives it ownership of a "promising investigational biologic that strengthens our very diversified Hepatitis C portfolio."

The lower 2010 outlook comes as RTI Biologics announced a 10-year distribution agreement with Zimmer Dental for biologic implants for the dental market worldwide.
