Pacira BioSciences Buys Remaining 81% Stake of GQ Bio Therapeutics

Dow Jones

Feb 28, 2025

By Josh Beckerman

Pacira BioSciences bought the remaining 81% equity stake of GQ Bio Therapeutics, adding a platform expected to help development of treatments for musculoskeletal pain.

The deal is worth about $32 million, net of working capital and other transaction adjustments, to equity holders other than Pacira. The net purchase price includes $18 million of cash paid at closing, $8 million to be paid over three years pursuant to a key employee holdback agreement and a post-closing indemnity holdback of $6 million.

Pacira expects the deal to provide near-term and long-term financial benefits with the elimination of future milestone payments.

The Tampa, Fla., company and GQ Bio already had a partnership for development of a manufacturing process for PCRX-201 and other products.
