Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On April 1, 2026, Merit Medical Systems, Inc. (“Merit”) issued a press release (the “Press Release”) announcing that it has acquired View Point Medical, Inc. (“View Point”) in a merger transaction through which View Point became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Merit (the “Acquisition”). As a result of the Acquisition, Merit acquired View Point’s OneMark® Detection Imaging System, OneMark Tissue Markers and related assets. The aggregate Acquisition consideration, including the assumption of View Point liabilities, is approximately $140 million. Of that amount, $90 million was paid in cash at closing and a total of two deferred payments of $25 million are scheduled to be paid not later than the first and second anniversaries of the closing date, respectively.
A copy of the Press Release is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Merit references non-GAAP financial measures in the Press Release. A quantitative reconciliation of such non-GAAP financial information to comparable GAAP financial information is not available without unreasonable effort.
The information contained in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report and in the attached Exhibit 99.1 is furnished pursuant to General Instruction B.2. of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing made by Merit under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The information included in or furnished with this Current Report contains forward-looking statements about Merit that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. Merit intends such statements, and all subsequent forward-looking statements attributable to Merit, to be expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements and covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 21E of the Exchange Act and Section 27A of the Securities Act. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “potential,” “project,” “will,” “would,” “seek,” “should,” “could,” “can,” “predict,” “potential,” “continue,” “objective” or other forms of these words or similar words or expressions, or the negative thereof or other comparable terminology. However, not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. All statements included in or furnished with this Current Report, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements for purposes of the Exchange Act and the Securities Act, including any such statements that address Merit’s future operating performance or events or developments that Merit’s management expects or anticipates will occur, including, without limitation, any statements regarding Merit’s projected revenues, growth in revenue, earnings, earnings per share, non-GAAP earnings per share, gross margin, non-GAAP gross margin, operating margin, non-GAAP operating margin, or other financial measures, Merit’s plans and objectives for future operations, Merit’s proposed new products or services, the integration, development or commercialization of the business or any assets acquired from another party, including View Point, future economic conditions or performance, the implementation of, and results which may be achieved through, Merit’s Continued Growth Initiatives Program or other business optimization initiatives, and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause Merit’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievement to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including those risks, uncertainties and other factors described in Merit’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and subsequent filings with the SEC.
