Acquisition of BIOTRONIK Vascular Intervention business
On February 24, 2025, we executed a definitive agreement to acquire substantially all of the Vascular Intervention business of BIOTRONIK SE & Co. KG. The acquisition will include a broad suite of coronary and peripheral medical devices, such as drug-coated balloons, stents, and balloon catheters, which will complement our interventional product portfolio. Under the terms of the agreement, we will acquire the VI Business for an initial cash payment of €760 million reduced by certain adjustments as provided in the purchase agreement including certain working capital not transferring and other customary adjustments. The acquisition is subject to customary closing
conditions, including receipt of certain regulatory approvals, and is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2025.
Concurrent with the execution of the agreement to acquire the VI Business, we entered into an amendment to our Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), which, among other things, (a) provides for a delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $500 million, which will be available to be drawn on the date on which we consummate the VI Business acquisition and (b) permits us to borrow up to $550 million under the revolving facility provided for under the Credit Agreement on a limited condition basis on the date on which the VI Business acquisition is consummated. Borrowings under the delayed draw term loan will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable margin plus, at our option, either (1) the highest of (i) the “Prime Rate” in the U.S. last quoted by The Wall Street Journal, (ii) 0.50% above the greater of the federal funds rate and the rate comprised of both overnight federal funds and overnight eurodollar transactions denominated in dollars and (iii) 1.00% above the Term SOFR Rate for a one month interest period, plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.125% to 1.00%, in each case subject to adjustments based on our total net leverage ratio or (2) a Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) rate (which includes a credit spread adjustment of 10 basis points). The applicable margin for borrowings under the delayed draw term loan range from 1.125% to 2.00% for SOFR borrowings and from 0.125% to 1.00% for base-rate borrowings, in each case, depending on, at our election, either (x) our public corporate family rating or (y) our consolidated total net leverage ratio, in each case, based on the most recently ended fiscal quarter. The obligations under the delayed draw term loan will be guaranteed and secured on the same basis as the facilities provided for under the Credit Agreement. The delayed draw term loan will not amortize and will mature on the earlier of (x) the date that is two years after the date on which such loans are funded and (y) the maturity date for the revolving facility provided for under the Credit Agreement.
In addition to amending our Credit Agreement, we also entered into foreign exchange derivative contracts with an aggregate notional value of €700 million to economically hedge against the foreign currency exposure associated with the cash consideration needed to complete the VI Business acquisition.
We anticipate using the new delayed draw term loan along with revolving credit borrowings under the Credit Agreement and cash on hand to finance the VI Business acquisition. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we incurred transaction costs of $11.5 million in connection with the acquisition, which was recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Income. The majority of the transaction costs were recognized in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Recently Announced Strategic Actions
On February 27, 2025, we announced our intention to create a new, independently traded public company comprising Urology (consisting of our Interventional Urology and Urology product categories), Acute Care (consisting of our Respiratory product category, the majority of our Anesthesia product category and certain products within our Interventional Access and Surgical product categories) and our OEM businesses. Our Vascular Access product category, most of our products within our Interventional Access and Surgical product categories and the expected acquisition of the VI business will remain with Teleflex. The completion of any separation transaction and the achievement of tax-free status will be contingent upon various conditions and approvals, including approval of our Board of Directors, receipt of requisite regulatory clearances and compliance with applicable SEC requirements. There can be no guarantees that the proposed separation will be completed on the terms and within the timeframe we announced, or at all.
Accelerated share repurchase agreement
On February 28, 2025, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement for $300 million of our common stock, representing the remainder of the share repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors in 2024.
