One of the medical technology industry’s leading providers of coating systems and surface modification is being taken private by private equity firm GTCR in a $627 million deal. Surmodics (SRDX) announced Monday that it has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by GTCR in an all-cash transaction valuing the company at $43 per share.
The acquisition price represents a premium of over 41% to Surmodics’ average trading price over the past 30 days. It comes amid a broader push by private equity to double down on investments in the healthcare technology space as medical device innovation accelerates.
Surmodics has been a pioneer in the delivery of surface modification solutions that enhance the biocompatibility of medical products. The Eden Prairie, Minnesota-based company’s technologies are used by blue-chip medical device manufacturers to enable products to interact more safely and effectively with the human body.
Its proprietary coating and treatment platforms are integrated into thousands of devices including vascular intervention technologies, minimally invasive surgical tools, in vitro diagnostics, and ophthalmic products. Surface treatments from Surmodics can improve device thromboresistance, lubricity, durability, adhesion, and biocompatibility.
Those differentiated capabilities caught the eye of GTCR, which has significant experience investing in healthcare companies. The Chicago-based private equity firm currently manages over $25 billion in equity capital across multiple investment strategies.
For Surmodics shareholders, the $43 per share cash deal represents an attractive exit price. In addition to the 41% premium to the recent trading average, the buyout price is 26% higher than where the stock closed on Friday. The company’s shares soared 25% on Monday following news of the transaction.
Surmodics’ Board of Directors unanimously approved the merger agreement and recommends shareholders vote in favor of the deal. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2024, subject to shareholder approval, regulatory clearances, and other customary closing conditions.
The medical coatings and surface technology space has seen heightened M&A activity in recent years as major medical product companies seek to enhance their product pipelines. Private equity investors like GTCR have ample dry powder to deploy into healthcare sectors positioned for durable growth driven by demographic tailwinds and innovation.
While going private will provide Surmodics with flexibility to invest for the long-term, the $627 million price tag validates the company’s tools and know-how as essential for next-generation medical device engineering. As healthcare investors compete to back enablers of cutting-edge medical products, GTCR’s bet on Surmodics’ coating capabilities could pay off handsomely.

For biotech investors scouring for the next big opportunity, the massive manufacturing expansions underway at pharma giant Eli Lilly (LLY) are worth a close look. The company just announced another staggering $5.3 billion investment into a key production facility in Indiana to crank up supply of its blockbuster obesity and diabetes drugs.
This commitment brings Lilly’s total investment at the Lebanon, Indiana site to an incredible $9 billion – representing the firm’s largest-ever manufacturing bet in its nearly 150-year history. It highlights the huge demand that Lilly’s game-changing medications like Mounjaro and Zepbound are facing from physicians and patients alike.
For small biotech firms developing the next generation of weight loss, diabetes and metabolism therapies, Lilly’s supply chain moves send an important signal – this market is headed for explosive growth in the coming years. Companies sitting on promising pipeline candidates could emerge as attractive buyout targets.
At the heart of Lilly’s expansion plans are its incretin drugs, which mimic gut hormones to suppress appetite and regulate blood sugar. Mounjaro, approved for diabetes, and Zepbound, greenlit for chronic weight management, both contain the active ingredient tirzepatide.
Since their launches, demand for these effective and convenient once-weekly injectable treatments has far outstripped supply. Shortages have been widespread in the U.S. as Lilly raced to build out its production infrastructure.
The new $9 billion Indiana campus will be instrumental in increasing Lilly’s capacity to manufacture tirzepatide at scale. When fully operational in 2028, it will employ around 900 skilled workers including scientists, engineers and technicians.
But this plant is just one piece of Lilly’s supply chain mobilization for incretin drugs. Since 2020, the company has plowed over $18 billion into building, acquiring and expanding manufacturing sites in the U.S. and Europe. New facilities are also coming online in North Carolina, Ireland and Germany through 2026.
These investments are already paying dividends. On its latest earnings call, Lilly hiked its 2023 revenue guidance by $2 billion, citing greater visibility into ramping up production of Mounjaro, Zepbound and its incretin pipeline over the remainder of the year.
For small biotechs, the supply chain frenzy at Lilly underscores the commercial opportunity in obesity, diabetes and metabolism. With over 40% of U.S. adults classified as obese, safe and effective chronic weight management regimens like Lilly’s incretin franchise could disrupt a massive global market worth billions annually.
The manufacturing expansions suggest appetite for these therapies will continue to surge, fueling demand for the next generation of medications offering better efficacy, tolerability and dosing schedules. Smaller drug developers operating in this space could become prime M&A candidates as deep-pocketed pharmas look to build out their obesity and diabetes portfolios.
Case in point: Lilly itself acquired Zepbound through its $8 billion buyout of Protunor Biopharma in 2022. Several major deals have already reshaped the incretin drug landscape in recent years, including Pfizer’s $6.7 billion purchase of Akero Therapeutics for its NASH/diabetes pipeline.
With its bold investments, Lilly is putting its money where its mouth is when it comes to obesity and metabolic disease. For lean biotechs advancing the next wave of therapies in this booming treatment category, that could spell opportunity knocking in the form of lucrative buyout offers or partnerships down the line.
Keep an eye on this space as Lilly’s supply chain moves underscore that the fight against fat is only just beginning for the pharmaceutical industry.

1Q24 Results. Revenue of $41.6 million was up 4% y-o-y, driven by new store growth. Gross margin declined to 43.1% from 54.6% due to pricing pressure in New Mexico and a higher mix of lower margined medical sales. Schwazze reported an operating loss of $2.7 million compared to $5.6 million of operating profit in 1Q23. GAAP net loss totaled $18.2 million, or a loss of $0.24/sh, versus essentially breakeven last year. We had estimated revenue of $42.5 million and a net loss of $11.6 million, or a loss of $0.16/sh.
Environment Still Challenging. The Colorado and New Mexico markets remain some of the most competitive cannabis markets in the country. A supply/demand situation still coming into balance and too many retail locations will continue to impact both markets in the near-term.

In a strategic move to strengthen its dermatology portfolio, pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson has agreed to acquire Proteologix, a privately-held biotech developing bispecific antibody therapies for inflammatory skin diseases like atopic dermatitis. The $850 million all-cash deal gives J&J access to promising clinical and preclinical stage assets.
The crown jewel of the acquisition is Proteologix’s lead candidate PX128, a Phase 1-ready bispecific antibody targeting two key drivers of atopic dermatitis and asthma – interleukin-13 (IL-13) and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP). By simultaneously blocking these complementary inflammatory pathways, PX128 could provide a substantial efficacy boost over current monospecific antibody treatments.
Proteologix’s second asset, the preclinical bispecific PX130, goes after IL-13 and IL-22 for the treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis. J&J cited the differentiated design of these dual-acting antibodies, highlighting their potential for infrequent, convenient dosing that could improve adherence.
The acquisition aligns with J&J’s strategic focus on building an immunology pipeline centered around bispecific antibodies for improved disease control across a range of inflammatory conditions.
Atopic dermatitis, a chronic inflammatory skin disease, impacts over 100 million adults worldwide, representing a massive market opportunity. However, up to 70% of patients fail to achieve remission on standard systemic treatments, underscoring a significant unmet need.
“We see an opportunity for best-in-disease efficacy for both PX128 and PX130,” said David Lee, global immunology therapeutic area head at J&J. The company believes the bispecifics could be game-changers for underserved patient subgroups by more comprehensively targeting the heterogenous drivers of atopic dermatitis.
The deal comes on the heels of positive Phase 3 data from Eli Lilly’s IL-13 antibody lebrikizumab in atopic dermatitis. After manufacturing setbacks, Lilly resubmitted its lebrikizumab filing in April and anticipates a decision later this year, setting up a potential commercial clash with J&J’s dual-acting antibodies down the road.
Proteologix, based in California, will be eligible for additional milestone payments on top of the $850 million upfront cash paid by J&J. The transaction, expected to close in mid-2024 pending regulatory approval, will fold in Proteologix’s other preclinical bispecific antibody programs focused on autoimmune diseases and cancer.
For J&J, the deal provides a promising path toward next-generation, differentiated therapies for the significant population of atopic dermatitis patients struggling with existing treatment options. Proteologix’s dual-acting bispecific antibodies represent potentially transformative medicines for a disease area that has proven stubbornly difficult to treat.
The acquisition reinforces J&J’s commitment to immunology and dermatology while bolstering its pipeline with innovative, clinically advanced assets that could drive future growth. As the atopic dermatitis market heats up, J&J has made a preemptive strike to secure a competitive edge through its newest biotech addition.
