Eric Brown, CEO and Founder of OsteoCentric, comments:

“This transaction would combine two complementary technologies and create a stronger proposition for both patients and payors. Furthermore, our established presence and reputation across the U.S. market, would enable for Integrum to deliver on its U.S. market expansion. We have therefore placed an attractive cash offer to the shareholders of Integrum, underscored by the support from the independent bid committee and the largest shareholder of Integrum.”

Rickard Brånemark, Founder and largest shareholder of Integrum, comments:

“As the founder and largest shareholder of Integrum, I am proud of the Company’s accomplishments over the years and remain committed to supporting the future success of the Company. OsteoCentric has a proven track record of innovating Mechanical Integration and a strong network in the important US market, providing a highly suitable platform for Integrum’s continued journey. I believe that this industrial logic, combined with an attractive premium, creates a compelling proposition to all shareholders and I will therefore accept the offer.”

Background to and strategic rationale for the Offer

Integrum is a leader and pioneer of osseointegration technology. Since its inception in 1998, Integrum has helped hundreds of amputees improve their quality of life through its innovative and FDA approved OPRATM Implant System, a clinically proven bone-anchored prosthesis system. For more information about Integrum, please refer to Integrum’s website: https://integrum.se/.

OsteoCentric is a U.S. based medical device technology company pioneering UnifiMI – the world’s first Mechanical Integration fastener leveraging MIS bone preservation technology to create instant and sustainable implant stability. UnifiMI is a platform technology applicable to dental implants and orthopedic applications across Trauma, Sports, Spine, Recon, SI Fusion, Extremities, Oncology, and Bone Anchored Prostheses. OsteoCentric currently has 21 FDA clearances and holds over 25 US patents and 85 OUS patents.

As a company with the same ultimate focus to elevate standard of care and improve outcome for patients, OsteoCentric sees significant benefits for Integrum as a part of OsteoCentric.

Integrum and OsteoCentric have distinct but highly complementary technologies. By applying OsteoCentric’s UnifiMI® that is based on Mechanical Integration, to the OPRATM platform based on osseointegration, the combined business can improve and accelerate sustained stability and mobility of patients. This would create a stronger proposition for both payors and patients.

Furthermore, successfully delivering on Integrum’s announced strategic shift that, among other things, focuses on driving further market penetration in the U.S. market, will require presence and experience that will require time and resources. OsteoCentric’s established presence in over 90 Level 1 teaching hospitals across the U.S. and its trusted reputation as a technology disruptor and innovator provide a robust launchpad to enable Integrum’s U.S. market expansion.

Together, the combined company will be well positioned to drive greater adoption amongst a vast number of amputees.

Management and employees

OsteoCentric highly values the skills and talents of Integrum’s management and employees as key elements of the Company. Given OsteoCentric’s current knowledge of Integrum and in light of current market conditions, OsteoCentric does not intend to materially alter the operations of Integrum following the implementation of the Offer. There are currently no decisions on any material changes to Integrum’s or OsteoCentric’s employees and management or to the existing organization and operations, including the terms of employment and locations of the business.
