Zimmer Biomet to Acquire Monogram (MGRM) for $4.04 Cash Plus Milestone CVRs
Monogram Technologies Inc. has agreed to be acquired by Zimmer Biomet. The board unanimously recommends that holders of Monogram common stock approve a merger under which Monogram will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Zimmer Biomet and common stockholders will receive $4.04 in cash per share plus one non-tradeable Contingent Value Right (CVR) per share that can pay up to additional milestone-based cash amounts (First: $1.04; Second: $1.08; Third: up to $3.41; Fourth: up to $3.41; Fifth: up to $3.43). Preferred stockholders receive specified cash liquidation preferences. The special virtual meeting is set for September 30, 2025, record date August 14, 2025, and approval requires a majority of outstanding common shares. The proxy discloses a loan agreement (up to $15 million draw if merger is not consummated under certain conditions), a possible $11 million termination fee under specified circumstances, pending litigation challenging disclosures, and HSR and other regulatory filing steps.
Positive
- Definitive merger agreement with board unanimous recommendation
- Immediate cash consideration of $4.04 per common share
- Additional upside via CVRs specifying milestone payments up to defined amounts
- Wells Fargo fairness opinion provided to the board
- Appraisal rights preserved for dissenting stockholders under Delaware law
Negative
- Majority of consideration is contingent on achievement of specified milestones under the CVR agreement
- Non-tradeable CVRs limit liquidity and transferability of contingent value
- Pending litigation and demand letters allege disclosure deficiencies and may delay or challenge the transaction
- Regulatory approvals required (HSR and possible other antitrust clearances) before closing
- Termination fee of $11 million may apply under certain circumstances if the company accepts a superior offer
Insights
TL;DR: Definitive acquisition offering cash plus milestone CVRs; board and financial advisor supported the terms.
The transaction provides a fixed cash component of $4.04 per common share and contingent milestone payments via CVRs with defined triggers and expiration dates. The proxy states Wells Fargo rendered a fairness opinion to the board. Key mechanics include delisting/deregistration upon closing, appraisal rights under Delaware law for dissenting holders, and conditions tied to antitrust clearance and other closing conditions. The proxy also discloses a delayed-draw $15 million loan facility that can be accessed if the merger is not completed under specified circumstances, and potential litigation and demand letters challenging disclosures. These items are material to holders considering whether to vote.
TL;DR: Deal structure: cash plus non-transferable CVRs with milestone payments; customary closing and termination provisions apply.
The merger agreement includes standard mutual and party-specific closing conditions, HSR filing and waiting-period obligations, non-solicitation and matching rights, an $11 million company termination fee in defined scenarios, and prescribed treatment of outstanding equity awards (in-the-money options converted to cash plus CVRs). The CVR agreement sets milestone payment deadlines and limits transferability; enforcement rights are confined to the rights agent or majority holders. Regulatory approvals and pending stockholder litigation are disclosed as potential execution risks referenced in the proxy.

Items of Business:
|
| | 1. To consider and vote on a proposal to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 11, 2025 (which we refer to as the “original merger agreement”), as amended by that certain First Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated August 27, 2025 (we refer to the original agreement merger, as amended, as the “merger agreement”), by and among the Company, Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc. (which we refer to as “Zimmer Biomet”), a Delaware corporation, Honey Badger Merger Sub, Inc. (which we refer to as “Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zimmer Biomet, pursuant to which and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (which we refer to as the “merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zimmer Biomet. We refer to this proposal as the “merger agreement proposal”. | |
| |
Record Date:
|
| |
2. To consider and vote on a proposal to approve any adjournment of the special meeting for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the special meeting to adopt the merger agreement, which proposal we refer to as the “adjournment proposal”.
Only the Company common stockholders of record at the close of business on August 14, 2025, the record date for the special meeting, will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the special meeting and any postponement or adjournment thereof. Participating Company common stockholders who log on to the special meeting using their 16-digit control number will be able to examine the stockholder list during the special meeting by following the instructions provided on the meeting website at www.monogram.vote. Holders of shares of the Company’s preferred stock do not have the right to vote their preferred shares on the proposals
|
|
| | | | | described in this proxy statement. | |
| |
General:
|
| |
The merger agreement proposal must be approved by the affirmative vote (in person or by proxy) of the holders of a majority of outstanding shares of Company common stock entitled to vote on the matter. Assuming a quorum is present, if you fail to authorize a proxy to vote your shares of Company common stock or vote at the special meeting, fail to instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote, or abstain from the merger agreement proposal, it will have the same effect as a vote against the merger agreement proposal. Accordingly, your vote is very important regardless of the number of shares of Company common stock that you own. Whether or not you plan to virtually attend the special meeting, we request that you vote your shares of Company common stock. If you virtually attend the special meeting and you are a Company common stockholder of record at the close of business on the record date, you may continue to have your shares of Company common stock voted as instructed in your proxy or you may withdraw your proxy and vote your shares of Company common stock at the special meeting. If you fail to authorize a proxy to vote your shares of Company common stock or vote at the special meeting, or fail to instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote, the effect will be that the shares of Company common stock that you own will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the special meeting and will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the merger agreement proposal.
The approval of the adjournment proposal requires the affirmative vote in person (including by remote participation) or by proxy of the holders of a majority of shares present in person (including by remote participation) or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on such proposal. Assuming a quorum is present, if you fail to authorize a proxy to vote your shares of Company common stock or vote at the special meeting, or fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee on how to vote, it will have no effect on the outcome of the adjournment proposal. Abstentions are shares present at the meeting and, therefore, abstentions as to the adjournment proposal will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the adjournment proposal. If a quorum is not present or represented at the special meeting, the stockholders entitled to vote at the special meeting, present in person (including by remote communication) or represented by proxy, have the power to adjourn the special meeting from time to time until a quorum is present or represented. If a quorum is present and represented at the special meeting, the special meeting may be adjourned to another time and place to permit further solicitation of proxies, if necessary, to obtain additional votes to approve the merger agreement proposal.
For Company common stockholders of record, any proxy may be revoked at any time prior to its exercise by delivery of a properly executed, later-dated proxy card, by authorizing your proxy or voting instructions electronically over the internet or telephonically at a later date than your previously authorized proxy, by submitting a written revocation of your proxy to our Corporate Secretary, or by voting at the special meeting. For Company common stockholders that hold their shares in “street name”, you will need to revoke or resubmit your proxy in accordance with the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee. Virtual attendance at the special meeting, in and of itself, will not be sufficient to revoke a previously authorized proxy.
For more information concerning the special meeting, the merger agreement, the form CVR agreement (which we refer to as the “CVR agreement”) to be entered into at the effective time of the merger by and between Zimmer Biomet and a rights agent, and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and the CVR agreement, including the merger, please review the accompanying proxy statement and the copy of the original merger agreement (including the form of CVR agreement, which is an exhibit to the merger agreement) attached as Annex A thereto, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated August 27, 2025, attached as Annex D thereto.
The board of directors of the Company (which we refer to as the “Board”) has carefully reviewed and considered the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, the CVR
|
|
| | | | |
agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and the CVR agreement, including the merger. The Board unanimously (i) determined that the merger agreement, the CVR agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the merger, are advisable and fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its stockholders, (ii) approved (including for purposes of Section 203 of the DGCL) the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the merger agreement and the consummation of the transactions, including the merger, (iii) authorized the submission of a proposal to adopt the merger agreement to the Company stockholders entitled to vote thereon at the special meeting for adoption thereof and (iv) recommended that the Company stockholders approve the adoption of the merger agreement, subject to the right of the Board to withdraw or modify its recommendation in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement.
Accordingly, the Board recommends a vote “FOR” the merger agreement proposal and “FOR” the adjournment proposal.
Whether or not you plan to virtually attend the special meeting, we want to make sure your shares are represented at the meeting. You may cast your vote by authorizing your proxy in advance of the special meeting by internet, telephone or mail. Please sign, date and return, as promptly as possible, the enclosed proxy card in the reply envelope provided or grant your proxy electronically over the internet or telephonically (in accordance with the instructions detailed in the section of this proxy statement entitled “The Special Meeting-Voting Procedures” beginning on page 34). If you virtually attend the special meeting and vote thereat, your vote will revoke any proxy that you have previously submitted. If you hold your shares in “street name”, you should instruct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares in accordance with the voting instruction form that you will receive from your broker, bank or other nominee. Your broker, bank or other nominee cannot vote on either of the proposals, including the merger agreement proposal, without your instructions. If you sign, date and mail your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be counted as a vote “FOR” the merger agreement proposal and “FOR” the adjournment proposal.
Before voting your shares of Company common stock, we urge you to read the accompanying proxy statement carefully, including its annexes and the documents incorporated by reference in the document. Your prompt attention is greatly appreciated.
