Insights

OPKO closes up to $225M sale of oncology lab assets to Labcorp.

OPKO Health, through its subsidiary BioReference Health, has closed the sale of specified U.S. oncology and oncology-related clinical testing assets to Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings. The aggregate purchase price is up to $225,000,000 in cash under an Asset Purchase Agreement.

At closing on September 15, 2025, the buyer paid $192,500,000 in cash to the seller, subject to adjustments set out in the agreement. Up to an additional $32,500,000 may be paid as contingent consideration through a post-closing earnout tied to revenue generated by certain customer accounts.
