Getinge has today completed the previously announced acquisition of 100% of the shares of Paragonix Technologies Inc.
On August 22, 2024, Getinge announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire Paragonix Technologies, Inc., a leading U.S. company in organ transport products and services, for a total purchase price estimated at $477 million, including upfront and currently estimated earn-outs.
All conditions for the transaction have now been fulfilled, whereupon the transaction was completed today.
Getinge paid approximately $253 million in cash upon completion of the acquisition, on a cash and debt free basis. The earn-out payments are expected to be paid between 2024 and 2026 if agreed upon regulatory and financial performance milestones are achieved and may exceed $224 million in aggregate. The initial payout related to the acquisition has been financed through a bridge loan provided by SEB. The acquisition is expected to have a slightly negative impact on Getinge’s adjusted earnings per share in 2024. Getinge anticipates a positive contribution on adjusted earnings per share starting in 2028.
