WAYNE, Pa., Dec. 28, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE:TFX), a leading global provider for healthcare supplies and services, announced today that it has completed the previously announced acquisition of Z-Medica, LLC, an industry-leading manufacturer of hemostatic products.

On October 28, 2020, Teleflex announced a definitive agreement to acquire Z-Medica. Under the terms of the agreement, Teleflex will acquire Z-Medica for an upfront cash payment of $500 million at closing, and up to an additional $25 million upon the achievement of certain commercial milestones. Teleflex acquired certain tax attributes in the transaction that are expected to result in future tax benefits.
