Musculoskeletal solutions company Globus Medical has signed an agreement to acquire spine technology firm Nuvasive in an all-stock transaction valued at around $3.1bn.

According to the terms of the deal, shareholders of NuVasive will secure 0.75 of a share of Globus Medical Class A common stock for each owned share of NuVasive common stock after the closure of the transaction.

Upon completion of the deal, Globus Medical shareholders will hold a stake of around 72% in the combined company, on a completely dilutive basis, while NuVasive shareholders will own the remaining 28% interest.

NuVasive CEO Chris Barry said: “Together, we will be able to offer an exceptional portfolio of clinically proven solutions, supported by strong commercial and surgeon education teams.”

Generating more than $1bn in net sales, NuVasive offers less-invasive and procedurally integrated surgical solutions.

Established in 2003 and based in Audubon, Pennsylvania, US, Globus Medical is engaged in the development of products for patients with musculoskeletal disorders.
