Alcon has agreed to acquire the medical-technology company Lensar in a deal that could be worth up to $430 million.
The eye-care company said Monday that it would pay $14 for each Lensar share in cash, and an additional $2.75 per share based on certain milestones for Lensar's products in 2026 and 2027.
The transaction includes Lensar's ALLY Robotic Cataract Laser Treatment System, its proprietary Streamline software and its legacy laser system, which should benefit Alcon's laser-assisted cataract surgery offering.
The deal is expected to close in mid-to-late 2025, subject to approval from regulators and Lensar's shareholders.
Shares of Lensar were halted at $14.57 in premarket trading.
