Patterson Companies, Inc. (NASDAQ:) announced today the completion of its previously disclosed merger, marking a significant change in the company’s ownership and stock market listing. The dental and animal health products distributor, which has demonstrated strong market performance with a 50% return over the past six months and reached near its 52-week high of $31.79, has become a wholly owned subsidiary of Paradigm Parent, LLC, an affiliate of Patient Square Capital, following the closure of the transaction on Thursday. According to InvestingPro, the company maintained a robust financial health score of "GOOD" leading up to the merger.
The merger, initially detailed in a December 10, 2024 agreement, led to the conversion of each outstanding share of Patterson’s common stock into a right to receive $31.35 in cash, without interest. As a result of the merger, all shares were delisted from the prior to market opening today, with Patterson also intending to deregister its common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
