Smith & Nephew puts up $660m for Osiris Therapeutics

March 12, 2019 By Brad Perriello

Smith & Nephew to acquires Osiris TherapeuticsSmith & Nephew (NYSE:SNN) said today that it agreed to put $660 million on the table to acquire Osiris Therapeutics (NSDQ:OSIR) and its regenerative medicine portfolio.

The British orthopedics and wound care giant said the $19-per-share deal is a 37% premium on the 90-day volume-weighted average for OSIR shares. It’s structured as a two-step tender offer, Smith & Nephew said, with Osiris chairman & co-founder Peter Friedli agreeing to commit his 30% stake. The acquisition is slated to close during the second quarter, with the 360 people employed by Osiris joining S&N, that company said.

“Greater presence in the fast-growing regenerative medicine market enhances our portfolio and will help immediately accelerate our wound management business as well as provide longer term innovations in additional channels and indications. We sought out a fast growing portfolio with strong clinical evidence addressing critical needs in the marketplace,” CEO Namal Nawana said in prepared remarks.

“I am immensely proud of the business we have built from our research into advanced regenerative technologies. Smith & Nephew is the best new owner to take these products forward, widening access to more customers and restoring quality of life for more patients,” Friedli added.

Osiris put up sales of $102 million for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 2018 and $36.5 million during last year’s third quarter. Fourth-quarter and full-year results are on tap for March 15, Smith & Nephew said.

The cash-and-debt transaction is expected to add to S&N’s adjusted earnings per share starting next year, with return on invested capital topping the cost of capital three years after closing, the company said.

OSIR shares closed up 0.9% at $18.88 each yesterday. SNN shares, which closed up 0.8% at $38.79, were up 0.7% to $39.04 apiece just before the open today.
