Colleagues,
Earlier
this afternoon, we announced here that Sanara has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by MIMEDX in a cash and stock
transaction that values Sanara at approximately $350 million. Under the terms of the agreement, Sanara shareholders will receive $33.00
in cash and 0.4735 shares of MIMEDX common stock for each share of Sanara common stock they own.
Today’s
announcement is a major milestone for Sanara and reflects the impressive track record of growth that we have delivered over the past
several years. It is also a validation of the strategic actions we have taken to focus our business on the surgical market, strengthen
our sales organization and align our resources to support continued growth. We have built strong momentum, exceeding $100 million in
net revenue for the first time in our company’s history, while significantly improving profitability and continuing to build our
surgical commercial presence.
MIMEDX
has undergone a transformation of its own in recent years, marked by a purposeful pivot three years ago toward complementary markets.
Since then, it has demonstrated the ability to drive strong, double-digit growth in surgical end markets. Today, MIMEDX is a leading
global provider of healing solutions focused on developing innovative products to restore quality of life for patients in need. This
transaction is a logical extension of MIMEDX’s strategy to expand its surgical footprint and meaningfully extend its reach.
Together,
we will create a leading regenerative medicine company across numerous surgical subspecialties. The combined company will be well positioned
to pursue the large and growing surgical opportunity and become a leader in regenerative medicine. Adding our proprietary, evidence-based
surgical technologies to MIMEDX’s growing business broadens the combined portfolio beyond soft tissue into adjacent areas such
as musculoskeletal applications. And just as importantly, both companies have exceptional teams and share a patient-first mission grounded
in evidence-based healing and improved clinical outcomes.
Please
note that today’s announcement is just the first step. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the year, subject to
approval by Sanara shareholders, the receipt of required regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. Until closing,
Sanara and MIMEDX will remain separate, independent entities and you should not expect any changes to our business priorities, roles
or responsibilities. Over the coming weeks, both companies will work together to continue planning how our organizations will come together
and will keep you informed as decisions are made. In the meantime, please stay focused on serving our customers, supporting one another
and executing our priorities.
We
will be hosting an all-employee town hall tomorrow at 9:30 AM CT to walk through this news in more detail and answer your questions,
and I encourage everyone to join. In the meantime, we’ve developed the below FAQ that should address some of the questions you may have.
We
expect this announcement will draw attention from outside the company. Consistent with company policy, please direct any inquiries from
investors or analysts to John Nesbett at jnesbett@imsinvestorrelations.com and any media or other outside inquiries to our PR
firm, Joele Frank, at sanara-media@joelefrank.com.
I
want to thank each of you for your hard work and commitment that has helped us reach this transformative moment. I’m proud of what this
team has built, and I’m excited for the next step on our journey together with MIMEDX.
Thank
you,
Seth
