Posted on October 16, 2025October 16, 2025 by aweinsoff@channelchek.com

Presentations Underscore Favorable Safety Profile and Robust T-Cell Responses of GEO-CM04S1 in Vulnerable Populations

ATLANTA, GA – October 16, 2025 – GeoVax Labs, Inc. (Nasdaq: GOVX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing multi-antigen vaccines and immunotherapies for infectious diseases and cancer, today announced presentations by its senior scientific leadership at the World Vaccine Congress Europe 2025, held October 13–16 at the RAI Amsterdam Convention Centre in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Presentation Highlights

Mark J. Newman, PhD – Chief Scientific Officer
Workshop Presentation: “Vaccine design to address the immunocompromised: T-lymphocyte driven…Balanced immunity – Broader specificity – Increased memory.”

Highlighted the limitations of current “one-size-fits-all” vaccines for immunocompromised populations.
Presented Phase 2 data showing GEO-CM04S1 elicits strong T-cell responses to both Spike (S) and Nucleocapsid (N), exceeding responses induced by mRNA boosters.
Demonstrated broad, durable immunity in preclinical and early clinical data, including responses against Omicron subvariants.
Reinforced the potential of GEO-CM04S1 to provide longer-lasting protection and reduce the need for frequent vaccine reformulations.

Kelly T. McKee, Jr., MD, MPH – Chief Medical Officer
Poster Presentation: “Interim Safety and Reactogenicity of GEO-CM04S1, an MVA-vectored, multi-antigen COVID-19 vaccine, in adults with hematologic malignancies receiving cellular therapies.”

Reported interim safety results from a Phase 2 trial in patients with hematologic malignancies post-hematopoietic stem cell transplant or chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy.
GEO-CM04S1 showed a safety profile comparable to mRNA vaccines, with only mild-to-moderate treatment-emergent adverse events, predominantly injection site reactions, fatigue, and myalgia… observed.
No vaccine-related serious adverse events, myocarditis, or pericarditis have been reported to date.
Breakthrough infections occurred but were mild-to-moderate in severity.

“These data continue to support our conviction that GEO-CM04S1 has the potential to fill a critical gap for immunocompromised patients who are not adequately protected against severe COVID-19 by existing vaccines,” said David Dodd, Chairman & CEO of GeoVax. “Our MVA-based, multi-antigen approach is designed to provide broader, more durable protection, and we are encouraged by the consistent safety profile emerging across the ongoing trials.”

About GEO-CM04S1

GEO-CM04S1 is a synthetic, next-generation COVID-19 vaccine candidate that co-expresses spike (S) and nucleocapsid (N) antigens using GeoVax’s MVA vector platform. Designed to induce both antibody and T-cell responses, GEO-CM04S1 is being evaluated in three Phase 2 clinical trials:

As a primary vaccine for immunocompromised individuals (including post-transplant and hematologic cancer patients),
As a booster for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and
As a durable booster for healthy adults previously immunized with mRNA vaccines

About GeoVax

GeoVax Labs, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel vaccines against infectious diseases and therapies for solid tumor cancers. The Company’s lead clinical program is GEO-CM04S1, a next-generation COVID-19 vaccine currently in three Phase 2 clinical trials, being evaluated as (1) a primary vaccine for immunocompromised patients such as those suffering from hematologic cancers and other patient populations for whom the current authorized COVID-19 vaccines are insufficient, (2) a booster vaccine in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and (3) a more robust, durable COVID-19 booster among healthy patients who previously received the mRNA vaccines. In oncology the lead clinical program is evaluating a novel oncolytic solid tumor gene-directed therapy, Gedeptin^®, having recently completed a multicenter Phase 1/2 clinical trial for advanced head and neck cancers. GeoVax is also developing a vaccine targeting Mpox and smallpox and, based on recent EMA regulatory guidance, anticipates progressing directly to a Phase 3 clinical evaluation, omitting Phase 1 and Phase 2 trials. GeoVax has a strong IP portfolio in support of its technologies and product candidates, holding worldwide rights for its technologies and products.

Release – Comstock Completes Acquisition of Haywood Quarry

Posted on October 16, 2025October 16, 2025 by aweinsoff@channelchek.com

Research News and Market Data on LODE

VIRGINIA CITY, NEVADA, October 15, 2025 — Comstock Inc. (NYSE: LODE) (“Comstock” and the “Company”) today announced that it has completed its purchase of the Haywood quarry industrial and mineral properties from Decommissioning Services LLC for a total of $2.2 million in cash and stock. The Haywood property totals approximately 190 acres in Lyon County, Nevada, and has available power, water, and easy access to US 50. These properties historically hosted gold mining and processing operations, and more recently, aggregate mining and are strategically located and contiguous to the Company’s Lyon County mineral properties, including our now flagship Dayton gold and silver resource.

“This is a very important addition to our mineral portfolio,” stated Mr. Corrado De Gasperis, Comstock’s Executive Chairman and CEO, “as it could conveniently host activities to support the mining at Dayton, and then provide post-mining industrial property in one of the largest industrial parks in Lyon County.”

The Comstock Lode was discovered in 1859. From 1860 to 1960, the district yielded more than eight million ounces of gold and 192 million ounces of silver, from workings greater than 3,000 feet below the surface. We have consolidated the most significant portions of the historic Comstock Lode mining district, conducted surface and airborne geophysical studies, drilled extensively, and developed detailed numerical models of the mineralization. We have secured permits, built an infrastructure, and completed two phases of test production. The Haywood Quarry is a strategic addition that enhances the efficacy of our Lyon County position.

Because of the Comstock Lode’s historical significance, the geology is well known and has been extensively studied. We have expanded our understanding of the geology through vigorous surface mapping and drill hole logging. The volume of geologic data is significant, particularly in the Lucerne and Dayton resource areas. We have accumulated a large library of historical data and detailed surface mapping of Comstock Mineral Estate properties and continue to obtain historical information from public and private sources. We have integrated this data with information obtained from our mining operations to target prospective geological exploration areas and plan exploratory drilling programs, including expanded surface and underground drilling.

The Company completed extensive geological mapping and drilling on a limited portion of our properties, particularly the Lucerne and Dayton resource areas, and characterized the mineralized material. We have performed metallurgical testing, mine planning and economic analysis while conducting extensive test mining operations, most recently from 2012 through 2016. The Company published an independent, third-party, S-K 1300 Technical Report Summary for our flagship Dayton gold and silver resources in November 2022.

The Company’s 2025 efforts include applying economic analysis to our existing gold and silver resources progressing toward preliminary economic feasibility for the southern part of the district, that is the broader Dayton resource complex, and the ultimate development of full mine and reclamation plans and the development of post productive land and community development plans.

About Comstock Inc.

Release – SelectQuote’s Healthcare Select Research Uncovers Critical Gaps in Care, Highlighting Urgent Need for Personalized Healthcare Solutions

Posted on October 16, 2025October 16, 2025 by aweinsoff@channelchek.com

Research News and Market Data on SLQT

10/15/2025

Nearly 70% of Served Population Face Limited Access to a Local Pharmacy

OVERLAND PARK, Kan.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– SelectQuote, Inc. (NYSE: SLQT) (the “Company”), a leading distributor of Medicare insurance policies and owner of a rapidly-growing healthcare services platform, today released a new research brief offering in-depth insights into the complex medical and social needs of the population it serves. The findings from tens of thousands of patient health needs assessments gathered by the Company’s Healthcare Select division highlight significant challenges across chronic care management, medication access, and financial security, underscoring the critical industry need for personalized, integrated healthcare solutions.

Key Research Findings:

Underserved Beneficiaries: Given that SelectQuote and Healthcare Select connect with beneficiaries telephonically, this population significantly over-indexes in historically-underserved areas lacking significant access to more traditional healthcare providers. 45% of Healthcare Select members reside in a rural zip code and 36% reside in an urban zip code, while only 11% reside in a suburban zip code.
Chronic Conditions: 74% of the population reported that they are dealing with two or more chronic conditions.
High Prescription Use: 75% of members regularly take 5 or more prescriptions.
Financial Headwinds: As 77% of SelectRx patients report annual household income of under $20,000, Social Determinants of Health often compound the treatment of health issues. 19% report having trouble accessing food on a regular basis. 36% indicate they are worried about being able to pay for bills if they were to face a serious illness.
Medication Delays: 16% of Healthcare Select members report having delayed taking medication for financial reasons.
Adherence Challenges: 40% of members have reported either forgetting to take their medications or failing to pick up prescriptions from a pharmacy. Independent studies indicate that failure to take medications consistently as prescribed (i.e., non-adherence) contributes to reduced treatment efficacy and poor disease control, higher rates of emergency department visits and hospitalizations, and increased morbidity and mortality.
Limited Pharmacy Access: Given their geographic concentration, approximately ⅔ of the population served by the Company’s SelectRx pharmacy reside in a “pharmacy desert” with limited access to local pharmacies.
Transportation: The headwinds to quality pharmacy access are exacerbated by the fact that 31% of Healthcare Select members report that they lack access to reliable transportation.

“This research provides a clear, data-driven look at the barriers to care faced by a large segment of the Medicare-eligible population,” said Bob Grant, SelectQuote President. “The high prevalence of chronic conditions, coupled with geographic and financial obstacles, illustrates why traditional one-size-fits-all healthcare is insufficient. We are committed to using this data to drive personalized solutions that effectively address these gaps.”

Mr. Grant continued, “We purpose-built Healthcare Select and our SelectRx pharmacy model to meet the needs of these underserved Medicare beneficiaries by combining telephonic outreach, personalized care coordination, direct prescription delivery, and packaging that improves adherence. By removing barriers like transportation and limited local pharmacy access, SelectRx helps patients manage complex medication regimens and improves adherence, ultimately driving better health outcomes.”

As Healthcare Select works to address members’ most pressing gaps in care — specifically in medication adherence, Social Determinants of Health, remote diagnostics and therapeutics, and chronic condition management — the Company actively seeks partners. SelectQuote invites innovative organizations and solution providers to connect with its Business Development team to collaboratively address these pressing issues impacting member care.

About SelectQuote:

Founded in 1985, SelectQuote (NYSE: SLQT) pioneered the model of providing unbiased comparisons from multiple, highly-rated insurance companies, allowing consumers to choose the policy and terms that best meet their unique needs. Two foundational pillars underpin SelectQuote’s success: a strong force of highly-trained and skilled agents who provide a consultative needs analysis for every consumer, and proprietary technology that sources and routes high-quality leads.

Commercial Metals to Acquire Foley Products in $1.84 Billion All-Cash Deal

Posted on October 16, 2025October 16, 2025 by cpatches

Commercial Metals Company (NYSE: CMC) announced it will acquire Foley Products Company, a leading supplier of precast concrete solutions in the southeastern United States, for $1.84 billion in cash. The move marks CMC’s formal entry into the precast industry and follows its recently announced acquisition of Concrete Pipe & Precast (CP&P).

CMC said the acquisitions of Foley and CP&P will establish the company as the third largest precast platform in the U.S., operating 35 facilities across 14 states, and a market leader in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions.

“The acquisition of Foley presents a unique opportunity to create immediate scale for our precast platform while adding a best-in-class business with industry-leading margins to CMC’s portfolio,” said Peter Matt, President and Chief Executive Officer of Commercial Metals. “We believe precast has significant value creation potential for CMC, and the addition of Foley will help unlock further upside from our pending acquisition of CP&P.”

Foley Products is known for its industry-leading EBITDA margins and cash flow generation, supported by well-established best practices and a broad portfolio of precast solutions. The purchase price represents a 10.3x multiple of Foley’s forecasted 2025 EBITDA, or roughly 9.2x when factoring in expected cash tax benefits.

The transaction is expected to be immediately accretive to earnings per share and free cash flow, with $25 million to $30 million in annual run-rate synergies anticipated by the third year. Synergies will primarily stem from operational efficiencies, cost reductions, and cross-selling opportunities across complementary geographic markets.

Following the integration of Foley and CP&P, CMC expects its core EBITDA margin to increase by approximately 210 basis points, with about 32% of total pro forma segment adjusted EBITDA generated by its Emerging Businesses Group and precast platform — up from 15% in fiscal 2025. The company also expects strong free cash flow generation, targeting a reduction in net leverage from 2.7x to below 2.0x within 18 months.

CMC emphasized that the precast concrete market — estimated at $30 billion in annual U.S. revenue — provides a strong strategic fit, leveraging the company’s existing relationships in early-stage construction and expanding its reach into mission-critical infrastructure applications.

Precast components, such as concrete pipes and utility structures, are manufactured off-site in controlled environments, offering faster installation times, improved quality, and reduced labor needs compared to traditional pour-in-place methods.

Praxis Precision Medicines Reports Positive Topline Phase 3 Data for Ulixacaltamide in Essential Tremor, Shares Surge

Posted on October 16, 2025October 16, 2025 by cpatches

Praxis Precision Medicines, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRAX) announced positive topline results from its Essential3 Phase 3 program evaluating ulixacaltamide HCl for the treatment of essential tremor (ET). The company reported that both pivotal studies met their pre-specified primary endpoints, with all key secondary endpoints also achieved, and ulixacaltamide was generally well tolerated with no drug-related serious adverse events.

In the parallel-group study (Study 1), patients treated with ulixacaltamide demonstrated a mean improvement of 4.3 points from baseline in the Modified Activities of Daily Living 11 (mADL11) at Week 8 (p<0.0001). All key secondary endpoints, including rate of disease improvement over 12 weeks, Patient Global Impression of Change (PGI-C), and Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S), were statistically significant (p<0.001).

In Study 2, a randomized-withdrawal design, patients maintained superior treatment effects on ulixacaltamide versus placebo (p=0.0369), with the first key secondary endpoint — rate of disease improvement — also demonstrating a statistically significant benefit (p=0.0042).

“Patients in the Essential3 program had been living with essential tremor for an average of 30 years, with worsening symptoms and no effective treatment options,” said Marcio Souza, President and CEO of Praxis Precision Medicines. “The strong results underscore the large unmet need for a therapy like ulixacaltamide. We look forward to discussing a potential NDA with the FDA in the near term.”

The Essential3 program enrolled over 700 patients across two studies using a decentralized design in the United States. Study 1 was a 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluating change in mADL11 at Week 8. Study 2 enrolled stable responders to ulixacaltamide and assessed maintenance of effect during a four-week randomized-withdrawal phase.

Ulixacaltamide is a selective T-type calcium channel inhibitor designed to block abnormal neuronal burst firing in the Cerebello-Thalamo-Cortical circuit, which is associated with tremor activity. The therapy is the most advanced program in Praxis’ Cerebrum™ small molecule platform.

Essential tremor is the most common movement disorder in the U.S., affecting roughly 7 million people, and currently has limited treatment options. Propranolol is the only approved therapy, with limited efficacy and tolerability, leaving a substantial patient population untreated.

Following the announcement, PRAX shares surged more than 200% in early trading, with roughly 2.8 million shares traded, far exceeding the three-month daily average of 449,000 shares. Praxis has submitted a pre-NDA meeting request to the FDA and plans to continue advancing ulixacaltamide toward regulatory submission.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – October 15, 2025) – Nicola Mining Inc. (TSXV: NIM) (OTCQB: HUSIF) (FSE: HLIA) (the “Company” or “Nicola“) is pleased to provide an update on preparation work conducted during 2025 on the Treasure Mountain Silver Project (“Treasure Mountain“) and its plan for 2026 exploration drilling program (“2026 TM Program“). The 2026 TM Program is the culmination of an airborne magnetic geophysical survey (conducted by Scott Hogg & Associates Ltd. in 2012), extensive soil sampling programs over multiple years, and 2025 field reconnaissance. Treasure Mountain is a permitted silver mine located 30 km northeast of Hope and about a 3-hour drive from Vancouver, British Columbia. Treasure Mountain was an operating mine but was put into care and maintenance in 2013^[1], due to depressed silver prices and has always been a core asset to Nicola, which has been strategically waiting for higher silver prices.

As previously announced in the Company’s June 9, 2025 news release, Nicola received a multi-year area-based exploration permit (the “MYAB Permit“), allowing the Company to conduct diamond drilling and trenching at Treasure Mountain. In addition to receipt of MYAB Permit, the Company received a ten year mine lease extension (through April 26, 2032; announced on August 30, 2024), further bolstering the attractiveness of re-opening Treasure Mountain.

The area of exploration interest is northwest of the currently suspended mine (Fig. 1) and consists of several northeast-southwest trending and steeply dipping sulphide-rich veins (Fig. 2). Photos exhibited in Figure 2 are associated with 2025 field reconnaissance focused on establishing the 2026 TM Program drill targets.

Initial interest in this area was driven by Coeur Mining’s (“Coeur“)^[2] (NYSE: CDE) (TSX: CDM) 2012 investment into the Company giving it a 12.7% ownership at time of investment. Coeur purchased shares at a price of $1.08 ($20.6 when considering subsequent rollbacks)^[3].

Previous exploration work along this trend is limited to six percussion holes totaling 274m in 1994 and 14 “backpack drill” holes totaling 25m in 2020. Widespread soil sampling was also conducted in 2019 and 2020. Limited rock samples were collected in 2020 and 2021. The most recent exploration along this trend (sampling conducted by Nicola in 2021) is described in Assessment Report #39721 (available on ARIS^[4]). Results from these programs are encouraging and demonstrate the presence of vein-hosted silver, copper, lead, zinc and gold. This provides support for initial diamond drilling to establish the width of the trend and mineralization at depth. Currently mineralization is present on surface and open in all directions.

Peter Espig, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Recently we have garnered accelerated interest from both investors and strategics that have become increasingly excited about Treasure Mountain. At Nicola, we have always been aware of its significant potential, as highlighted by Coeur’s investment in the Company at a time prior to Nicola securing ownership of New Craigmont Copper Project and commencing gold production and pre-investment in Dominion Gold Project. In addition to these other projects, for the past decade we have continued to review, maintain and explore Treasure Mountain, which is more than an exploration project but is a fully permitted mine that can be reopened. We continue to review all possibilities and are excited for the 2026 TM Program.”

Release – Gyre Therapeutics Announces Completion of Patient Enrollment in Phase 3 Clinical Trial of Pirfenidone Capsules for the Treatment of Pneumoconiosis

Posted on October 15, 2025October 15, 2025 by aweinsoff@channelchek.com

PDF Version

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Gyre Therapeutics (Nasdaq: GYRE), an innovative, commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to advancing fibrosis-first therapies across organ systems affected by chronic disease, today announced that its indirect, majority-owned subsidiary, Gyre Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. (Gyre Pharmaceuticals), has completed patient enrollment in the 52-week Phase 3 clinical trial of its Class 1 drug, Pirfenidone capsules, for the treatment of pneumoconiosis.

A total of 272 patients have been enrolled in this multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial being conducted at 18 clinical research centers across China. The trial is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of 52 weeks of Pirfenidone capsule treatment in patients with pneumoconiosis, a chronic occupational lung disease characterized by progressive pulmonary fibrosis.

Unmet Medical Need in Pneumoconiosis

Pneumoconiosis remains the most common and severe occupational disease in China, with more than 450,000 surviving patients and thousands of new cases reported each year. It results from long-term inhalation of mineral dusts such as silica or coal, which triggers persistent inflammation and progressive fibrosis of the lung tissue. Over time, this excessive scar formation causes diffuse fibrosis and irreversible loss of lung function. Despite its prevalence and severity, there is currently no approved therapy in China that specifically targets the fibrotic mechanisms underlying pneumoconiosis.

Based on recent expert consensus, China’s pneumoconiosis treatment landscape represents a significant unmet medical need, underscoring the importance of developing therapies specifically designed to slow or halt the progression of fibrosis and improve long-term outcomes for affected patients.

About the 52-Week Phase 3 Trial

The ongoing trial compares Pirfenidone 1,800 mg/day (600 mg tid) with placebo over a 52-week double-blind treatment period.

Primary Endpoint: Change from baseline in forced vital capacity (FVC) % predicted at Week 52.
Key Secondary Endpoints: Changes in diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO), 6-minute walk distance, St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) score, and Modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnea scale, as well as rates of acute exacerbations, hospitalizations, and deaths.
Safety Monitoring: Follows Gyre’s Development Safety Update Report (DSUR Dec 2023–Dec 2024). Most adverse events reported to date are mild to moderate, with no unexpected safety signals.
Interim Analysis: None planned.

About Pirfenidone (ETUARY®)

Pirfenidone is an oral antifibrotic small molecule that received its original approval in China in 2011 by Gyre Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). It works by inhibiting TGF-β signaling and fibroblast proliferation. Gyre continues to advance Pirfenidone beyond IPF through multiple clinical programs, including the Phase 3 pneumoconiosis trial and the recently approved Phase 2/3 trial for oncology-related pulmonary complications such as radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) and checkpoint inhibitor pneumonitis (CIP).

Rayonier and PotlatchDeltic Announce $8.2 Billion Merger to Create Timber Products Powerhouse

Posted on October 15, 2025October 15, 2025 by cpatches

Deal to Form Second-Largest U.S. Public Timber and Wood Company Amid Tariff Tailwinds and Industry Consolidation

Rayonier Inc. (NYSE: RYN) and PotlatchDeltic Corporation (Nasdaq: PCH) announced they have entered into a definitive all-stock merger of equals valued at approximately $8.2 billion, including $1.1 billion of net debt. The combined company will become the second-largest publicly traded timber and wood products enterprise in the United States, with roughly 4.2 million acres of timberland across 11 states and significant manufacturing and real estate operations.

Under the terms of the agreement, PotlatchDeltic shareholders will receive 1.7339 shares of Rayonier common stock for each PotlatchDeltic share — an implied value of $44.11 per share and an 8.25% premium to PotlatchDeltic’s October 10 closing price. Rayonier shareholders will own approximately 54% of the combined company, while PotlatchDeltic investors will hold 46%. The merger, unanimously approved by both boards, is expected to close in late Q1 or early Q2 2026.

The announcement coincided with the Trump administration’s implementation of 10% tariffs on imported timber and lumber — a policy shift expected to benefit U.S. producers. The companies cited improving long-term demand for housing and construction materials, despite recent headwinds from elevated mortgage rates and weaker housing activity.

“Combining two exceptional land resources companies creates enhanced value for our shareholders and other stakeholders,” said Mark McHugh, President and CEO of Rayonier, who will continue in that role post-merger. “Rayonier and PotlatchDeltic share a commitment to sustainability and a legacy of excellence in delivering land resources to their highest and best use.”

Eric Cremers, President and CEO of PotlatchDeltic, added, “This merger is a watershed moment for both companies. Our complementary assets and shared vision will unlock opportunities to create significant strategic and financial benefits beyond what either could achieve independently.”

The combined company will operate under a new name to be announced prior to closing. It will have an estimated pro forma equity market capitalization of $7.1 billion and be positioned to capitalize on multiple growth avenues — from timber harvesting and lumber manufacturing to higher-and-better-use (HBU) real estate development and natural climate solutions.

Operationally, the merger brings together approximately 3.2 million acres of timberland in the U.S. South and 931,000 acres in the Pacific Northwest. The company will operate seven wood products facilities, including six lumber mills with annual capacity of 1.2 billion board feet and one plywood mill producing 150 million square feet. It also expects to realize $40 million in annual run-rate synergies within two years of closing, driven by overhead and operational efficiencies.

In addition to its timber and manufacturing assets, the combined company will have an established real estate development platform with ongoing projects in Arkansas, Florida, and Georgia. Both firms highlighted strong prospects in land-based and natural climate solutions, including solar, carbon capture, and voluntary carbon markets.

Financially, the new company will have a pro forma net debt-to-EBITDA ratio of roughly 2.5x and maintain investment-grade credit ratings. It plans to sustain regular dividend payments through completion of the merger and target long-term dividend growth as synergies are realized.

Upon closing, the leadership team will draw from both organizations. McHugh will serve as President and CEO, with Wayne Wasechek (PotlatchDeltic) as CFO, Rhett Rogers (Rayonier) as EVP of Land Resources, and Ashlee Cribb (PotlatchDeltic) as EVP of Wood Products. Cremers will become Executive Chair of the Board for 24 months following the merger, with board representation split evenly between both companies.

Hillenbrand to Be Acquired by Lone Star Funds in $3.8 Billion All-Cash Deal

Posted on October 15, 2025October 15, 2025 by cpatches

Transaction Delivers Immediate Value to Shareholders and Takes Industrial Equipment Maker Private

Hillenbrand, Inc. (NYSE: HI) announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by an affiliate of Lone Star Funds in an all-cash transaction valued at $32.00 per share, representing an enterprise value of approximately $3.8 billion. The offer price reflects a significant premium to Hillenbrand’s recent trading levels and will provide immediate liquidity to shareholders.

Upon completion, expected by the end of the first quarter of 2026, Hillenbrand will become a privately held company and its shares will cease trading on the New York Stock Exchange. The transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions, including shareholder and regulatory approvals.

Hillenbrand is a global industrial company that designs and manufactures highly engineered processing equipment and solutions through its Advanced Process Solutions and Molding Technology Solutions segments. Over the past three years, the company has transformed its portfolio through acquisitions and divestitures, building a stronger position in the durable plastics, food, and recycling end markets.

“We are pleased to reach this agreement with Lone Star, which delivers immediate and certain cash value to our shareholders at a substantial premium to recent trading,” said Helen Cornell, Chairperson of Hillenbrand’s Board of Directors. “The Board carefully reviewed a range of potential strategic alternatives, including interest from multiple parties, and determined this transaction is in the best interest of Hillenbrand and its shareholders.”

Kim Ryan, President and CEO of Hillenbrand, added, “Over the past several years, we have made tremendous progress transforming into a pure-play industrial company and investing in innovation. Lone Star recognizes this progress and sees a bright future given our strong teams and leading businesses. We look forward to working with Lone Star to enhance our scale and continue driving growth and innovation.”

Lone Star Funds, a Dallas-based private investment firm with over $95 billion in capital commitments across 25 private equity funds since 1995, focuses on complex transactions across private equity, credit, and real estate. The firm cited Hillenbrand’s successful transformation and diversified market presence as key drivers of the acquisition.

The deal follows Hillenbrand’s recent portfolio streamlining efforts, including the sale of its majority interest in the Milacron injection molding and extrusion business to Bain Capital for $287 million and the divestiture of its minority stake in TerraSource Holdings to Astec Industries for approximately $245 million.

Following the transaction, Hillenbrand will continue operating under its existing structure, guided by its purpose to Shape What Matters For Tomorrow™, while leveraging Lone Star’s financial and operational support to expand within high-growth industrial markets.
