Corporate transaction and trading status
According to a Globe Newswire release dated October 20, 2025, and related SEC filings, ZimVie entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with an affiliate of ARCHIMED, an investment firm focused on healthcare industries. The company reported that ARCHIMED agreed to acquire all outstanding shares of ZimVie common stock for cash consideration per share. Following stockholder approval described in an October 10, 2025 special meeting 8-K, ZimVie announced the completion of the acquisition by ARCHIMED on October 20, 2025.
In that completion announcement, ZimVie stated that, as a result of the transaction, its common stock no longer trades on the Nasdaq stock exchange and that the company has become a privately held entity. An earlier 8-K filing and related disclosures indicated that, upon completion of the merger, the common stock would be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Select Market and deregistered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, with the company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the acquiring parent.
Regulatory reporting and financial communication
While it was a public company, ZimVie filed periodic reports and current reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and issued earnings releases. For example, the company reported first quarter and second quarter 2025 financial results in press releases that discussed net sales from continuing operations, net loss from continuing operations, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted diluted earnings per share, along with reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to GAAP metrics. These releases also referenced the use of non-GAAP financial measures, constant currency sales change information, and management’s rationale for using such measures.
In connection with the merger process, ZimVie filed multiple Form 8-K reports describing entry into the merger agreement, the go-shop period, stockholder approvals, and supplemental proxy disclosures. One 8-K detailed litigation matters related to the proxy statement and summarized additional disclosures the company chose to make in response to stockholder complaints, while reiterating that the company believed the allegations were without merit.
Positioning within dental and life sciences
Throughout its communications, ZimVie emphasizes its role in the dental and dental implant market as a company that supports clinicians with implants, biomaterials, and digital workflows. The company’s descriptions focus on improving clinical outcomes related to tooth replacement and restoration, and on supporting dental professionals with tools that aim to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and esthetic results in implant dentistry. Its agreements, such as the distribution partnership in China and the launch of digital tools in Japan, are presented as ways to broaden access to its implant systems and digital solutions in key markets.
