Medical Device Maker Stryker To Buy K2M Group For About $1.4 Billion
Stryker Corp will buy smaller rival K2M Group Holdings Inc, adding K2M's fast-growing spinal implant technology to its business. 

Stryker's offer of $27.50 per K2M share represents a premium of 26 percent to K2M Group's Wednesday closing price. K2M shares rose 25 percent to $27.27 in early trading, while those of Stryker were marginally down at $170.03.  "If one were to have asked us where we would have expected Stryker's next tuck-in deal to materialize, we would have pointed to Spine (division)," Leerink analyst Richard Newitter said. Analysts said Stryker's spine unit, which accounted for 6 percent of the company's $3.32 billion second-quarter revenue, has been struggling of late. K2M, which raked in nearly $300 million in 2017, is a relatively small player in the medical devices market dominated by companies such as Johnson & Johnson and Zimmer Biomet, but has been rapidly capturing market share.

HCA Healthcare To Buy North Carolina's Mission Health For $1.5 Billion

Emergent BioSolutions To Buy Narcan Maker Adapt for $735 Million
After its $270 million deal for PaxVax, the frequent government contractor is buying Adapt Pharma and its opioid overdose-reversing drug Narcan.
 
The Maryland-based firm is paying $635 million upfront and up to $100 million for potential sales-based milestones through 2022. Narcan, the only FDA-approved nasal spray of naloxone, has been on the market since 2016. Emergent  estimates the drug will contribute  $200 million to $220 million to the company's top line in 2019. In addition to Narcan and an opioid overdose-focused pipeline, about 50 Adapt employees will come aboard Emergent. The deal, plus the recently announced PaxVax buyout, will vault Emergent to $1 billion in revenue by 2020, a goal the company has been looking to achieve through M&As focused on public health threats. PaxVax, which has typhoid fever vaccine Vivotif and cholera vaccine Vaxchora, could deliver around $70 million to $90 million next year, per Emergent's estimate. Narcan could see more upside since President Donald Trump declared the opioid crisis a public health emergency last October. The U.S. Surgeon General, Jerome Adams, in April issued a public health advisory urging more Americans to carry naloxone, which can be lifesaving for people who overdose. After that, more first responders and police officers are carrying naloxone products with them.
