CONMED Corporation (NYSE: CNMD) today announced a definitive agreement to acquire privately-held In2Bones Global, Inc. (In2Bones), on a cash-free, debt-free basis, for cash consideration of $145 million at closing and up to an additional $110 million in growth-based earnout payments over a four-year period. The transaction is not subject to a financing condition. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of U.S. regulatory approval, and is expected to close late in the second quarter or early in the third quarter of 2022.
Headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, In2Bones is a global developer, manufacturer, and distributor of medical devices for the treatment of disorders and injuries of the upper (hand, wrist, elbow) and lower (foot and ankle) extremities. The company’s comprehensive product portfolio includes implants, fracture systems, biologics, and related hardware.
“This acquisition is a natural strategic extension of our Orthopedic portfolio,” commented Curt R. Hartman, CONMED’s Chair of the Board, President, and Chief Executive Officer. “In2Bones is an exciting platform for CONMED to enter the extremities market given its broad portfolio, extensive sales channel, and experienced leadership team. We look forward to welcoming the In2Bones team to CONMED.”
Alan Taylor, President and Chief Executive Officer of In2Bones, added, “Our talented team has worked tirelessly to build a comprehensive and efficient set of solutions focused on successful reproducible outcomes for extremities surgery, and we are excited to join CONMED. The CONMED team clearly shares our focus on people and clinical innovation to address unmet needs, and we look forward to continuing to advance our solutions and deliver them to patients across the globe.”

I look forward to working closely with the In2Bones team and to integrating their portfolio and commercial team into our existing infrastructure.”
