Life-sciences giant Thermo Fisher Scientific has struck a $3.1
billion deal to buy Swedish proteomics company Olink Holding.
Thermo Fisher on Tuesday said it will pay $26 a share in cash
for Olink, a nearly 74% premium to Monday's closing price of
$14.98.
Thermo Fisher said the acquisition of Olink, which offers
solutions for advanced proteomics discovery and development, is
highly complementary to its mass-spectrometry and life-sciences
platforms.
Thermo Fisher, based in Waltham, Mass., plans to fund the
acquisition with cash on hand and debt financing, adding that the
deal is slated to close by mid-2024.
Trading in shares of Olink was halted premarket on Tuesday.
