Procaps Group Announces Termination of Acquisition Agreement with Grupo Somar
03 Janvier 2023 - 10:12PM
Procaps Group, S.A. (NASDAQ: PROC) (“Procaps” or the “Company”), a
leading integrated LatAm healthcare and pharmaceutical
conglomerate, today announced the termination of its
previously-reported definitive agreement (the “SPA”) to acquire
Grupo Somar from the sellers under the SPA.
As previously reported, the closing of the
acquisition of Grupo Somar by the Company was delayed indefinitely
after the Company was informed by the sellers that a court in
Mexico City issued an Embargo Precautorio affecting certain shares
of capital stock of Grupo Somar in connection with a pending
dispute that involves an investment by a fund managed by Advent
International but that is otherwise unrelated to the sellers, Grupo
Somar, the Company, or the acquisition.
The time required for resolution of the Embargo
remains uncertain and is not in the Company’s control. Following
the failure of the transaction to close on December 31, 2022, the
Company provided the sellers a formal notice terminating the SPA in
accordance with the terms thereof. Procaps remains open to
discussing alternatives with the sellers but cannot provide any
assurances regarding whether an acquisition of Grupo Somar by the
Company will occur in the future.
“While we were disappointed with this outcome,
we remain committed to our strategy of building an integrated
healthcare organization that will capture the benefits of our
organic and inorganic growth,” said Ruben Minski, Procaps Chief
Executive Officer. “We believe we are well positioned to create
sustainable value for our shareholders over the long-term as we
build on our plans to drive growth, expand our portfolio and
continue to focus on our roll-up strategy. We look forward to
presenting our 2023 value creation initiatives at the J.P. Morgan
Healthcare Conference next week.”
Procaps will present at the 2023 J.P. Morgan
Healthcare Conference on Tuesday, January 10, 2023, at 8:00 am
PST.
