3M Co. (MMM) on Thursday said it agreed to sell substantially all of its drug-delivery business to an affiliate of private-equity firm Altaris Capital Partners LLC for total consideration of about $650 million.

The St. Paul, Minn., manufacturing and technology giant said the consideration includes cash, an interest-bearing security, and a 17% stake in the business, which has annual sales of about $380 million.

3M said it expects to post a gain of 45 cents to 50 cents a share on the transaction, which it expects to complete in the first half of 2020.

The company said it will retain its transdermal drug-delivery components business.
