Business Wire
Procaps Group (NASDAQ: PROC) (“Procaps” or the “Company”), a
leading integrated LatAm healthcare and pharmaceutical services
company, today announced that it is conducting a process to explore
strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value. As part of
this process, the Company plans to consider a wide range of
options, all to accelerate growth and optimize shareholder
value.
As previously communicated, Jose Vieira, Procaps newly appointed
CEO, will continue to develop a detailed strategic plan, working
closely with Ruben Minski, Executive Chairman, and the Company’s
Board of Directors. Ruben Minski noted: “We are thrilled with Jose
Vieira’s progress in developing strategies to set Procaps up for a
prosperous future, and we look forward to sharing with you our
organic strategic plans. Simultaneously, as part of our commitment
to our shareholders, we wanted to ensure that all available options
for accelerating Procaps’ growth are thoroughly explored,
maximizing value for our shareholders.
The Company has retained BTG Pactual, a leading Latin American
Investment Bank, to explore these alternatives over the next few
quarters and it has also formed a 2-person Strategic Committee, led
by Jose Minski and Alejandro Weinstein, both meaningful
shareholders of Procaps, with a long track record of creating value
together across multiple platforms via M&A. This committee was
formed in order to create total alignment and common objectives
between majority and minority shareholders and will have full
authority to make recommendations to the Board of Directors for
their approval.
Jose Minski stated: “We fully support Jose Vieira as he
transitions into the leadership role from Ruben, and aim to help
him succeed. Alejandro and I will work closely together with Mr.
Vieira and the Company’s Board of Directors to help determine the
best strategy that optimizes the outcome for our fellow
shareholders. We remain excited about the Company’s future growth
prospects and the value proposition that Procaps can deliver to its
customers.”
Mr. Weinstein commented: “Procaps is a unique organization that
provides innovative and differentiated products and solutions for
the healthcare and pharmaceutical community. I am now fully aligned
with Procaps’ Board that the best way to maximize value for
shareholders is to comprehensively review the Company’s strategic
alternatives, including avenues to accelerate growth through
opportunistic M&A activities. We will pursue the pathway that
maximizes value for all of our shareholders and also ensures
successful outcomes for Procaps customers and employees.”
There can be no assurance regarding the results or outcome of
this strategic review. Procaps does not intend to comment further
on this strategic review process, and it will make further
announcements in accordance with its ongoing disclosure obligations
and pursuant to applicable laws and regulations.
