(Nasdaq: SRDX), a provider of medical device and in vitro diagnostic technologies to the healthcare industry, today provided the following statement in response to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission\u2019s (\u201cFTC\u201d or the \u201cAgency\u201d) announcement that it will challenge the proposed acquisition of Surmodics (the \u201cMerger\u201d) by funds affiliated with GTCR LLC (\u201cGTCR\u201d), which have an equity investment in Biocoat Inc., a maker of medical coatings:\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cSurmodics respectfully disagrees with the FTC&#8217;s decision and remains committed to completing the Merger. Surmodics remains confident in both its rationale for the Merger and the value it will bring to all stakeholders, including shareholders, customers and patients. We have worked constructively with the FTC over the last several months to secure regulatory approval for the Merger and are disappointed by its decision to initiate litigation, as the Merger is pro-competitive.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSurmodics intends to vigorously defend this case in court in order to complete the Merger.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Additional Information About the Pending Acquisition of Surmodics by funds affiliated with GTCR<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nOn May 29, 2024, Surmodics announced it had entered into a definitive merger agreement to be acquired by funds affiliated with GTCR, a leading private equity firm with a long track record of investment expertise across healthcare and healthcare technology. Under the terms of the merger agreement, an affiliate of GTCR will acquire all outstanding shares of Surmodics. Surmodics shareholders will receive $43.00 per share in cash, for a total equity valuation of approximately $627 million. The transaction will be financed through a combination of committed equity from funds affiliated with GTCR and committed debt financing. Upon completion of the transaction, Surmodics will be a privately held company and its common stock will no longer be listed on The Nasdaq Global Select Market.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Merger was approved by Surmodics\u2019 shareholders at a special meeting held on August 13, 2024.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>Safe Harbor for Forward-looking Statements<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThis communication contains \u201cforward-looking statements\u201d within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws.
