Adia takes minority stake in USD 18.3 bn Hologic buyout:<\/strong> The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (Adia) and Singapore\u2019s GIC will join Blackstone and TPG as significant minority investors in the USD 18.3 bn acquisition of US-based women\u2019s health firm Hologic, according to a company <\/span>statement<\/a>. The transaction, which includes debt, is the largest in the medical devices sector in nearly two decades.<\/span><\/p>\n

The details:<\/strong> Under the agreement, Hologic shareholders will receive USD 76 per share in banknotes plus a USD 3 contingent value right, tied to revenue goals for its breast health business in 2026-2027. This marks a 6% premium to its last closing price. It will also receive debt financing from Citi, Bank of America, Barclays, Bank of Canada, and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking.<\/span><\/p>\n

Second time\u2019s the charm? <\/strong>Hologic had previously rejected<\/a> a USD 16 bn takeover by Blackstone and TPG earlier this year. <\/p>\n

Timeline: <\/strong>The transaction \u2014 approved by Hologic\u2019s board \u2014 includes a 45-day go-shop period for the health firm to seek other takeover agreements, though if this one goes through, the agreement could close in 1H 2026, pending shareholder and regulatory approval. <\/p>\n

Once complete, Hologic will be delisted from Nasdaq<\/strong> but retain its name and Massachusetts headquarters. The firms plan to accelerate research, pursue acquisitions and develop products, Reuters<\/a> quotes people familiar with the matter as saying. <\/p>\n

REMEMBER- Adia and Blackstone ties run deep: <\/strong>The two previously partnered with Vista Equity to acquire software provider Smartsheet<\/a> for USD 8.4 bn last year and were in talks for a for a 20% stake in India's Haldiram Snacks<\/a> valued at USD 1.6 bn before they fell through on valuation differences.<\/p>\n

ADVISORS-<\/strong> Goldman Sachs is acting as financial advisor to Hologic, while Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz is serving as counsel to the Company. Citi is financial advisor for the Blackstone-and-TPG-led consortium, while Kirkland & Ellis is serving as counsel, and Ropes & Gray is serving as healthcare regulatory counsel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
