(NYSE:TMO) ("Thermo Fisher"), the world leader in serving science, and Olink Holding AB (publ) ("Olink") (NASDAQ:OLK), a leading provider of next-generation proteomics solutions, today announced that Thermo Fisher has commenced the previously announced tender offer (the "Offer") through a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Thermo Fisher (the "Buyer") to acquire all of the outstanding common shares and all of the outstanding American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") of Olink for $26.00 per common share and per ADS, in cash.
The Offer and withdrawal rights will expire at 6:00 p.m., New York time, on November 30, 2023, unless the Offer is extended or earlier terminated. The Offer is subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of applicable regulatory approvals and a minimum tender condition. The conditions to the Offer are set forth in their entirety in the Offer to Purchase, the ADS letter of transmittal and the acceptance form for shares (including the instructions attached thereto), which Thermo Fisher has filed today with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
After careful consideration, the board of directors of Olink has recommended that Olink shareholders accept the Offer and tender their common shares and ADSs to the Buyer pursuant to the Offer.
As part of the transaction, Summa Equity AB, Olink's largest shareholder, and additional Olink shareholders and management, in aggregate holding approximately 66% of Olink's shares, have entered into support agreements agreeing to tender into the tender offer.
