Business Wire
ARTMS Inc. (ARTMS) is pleased to announce that the
acquisition by Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (Telix) has been
completed. This acquisition further enhances the vertical
integration of Telix’s supply chain and manufacturing by providing
a greater level of supply chain and regulatory control over the
production of key isotopes.
ARTMS will support the high efficiency, large-scale and
cost-effective production of commercially important medical
isotopes for Telix’s portfolio of products, such as zirconium-89
(89Zr), gallium-68 (68Ga), technetium‐99m (99mTc) and copper-64
(64Cu), and will continue to partner with additional
radiopharmaceutical companies to ensure that these critical
isotopes are available on demand for patients. In addition, ARTMS’
portfolio of advanced cyclotron technologies has immediate
application and differentiation for Telix in the production of
future commercially important alpha-emitting, therapeutic isotopes,
including actinium-225 (225Ac) and astatine-211 (211At).
The history of ARTMS is rooted in a Canadian government funded
project focused on solid target production of 99mTc. After that
project was successfully completed, the innovation continued and
resulted in a full suite of PET products. In 2017, ARTMS Inc. was
formed with support and seed funding from Quark Venture, through
their Global Health Sciences Fund (GHS) and founding institutions
TRIUMF, BC Cancer, Lawson Health Research Institute and the Center
for Probe Development. In May of 2020, ARTMS completed a $20M USD
Series A fundraising that included GHS and welcomed Deerfield
Management to the ARTMS family. In the subsequent years ARTMS has
played a critical role in alternative production of medical
isotopes with a focus on accelerating the production capabilities
of the world’s most commonly installed cyclotrons. The
collaboration between ARTMS’ unparalleled team, its investors and
founding members has resulted in a truly differentiated
organization.
Solomon Partners Securities LLC acted as financial advisor and
Norton Rose Fulbright Canada LLP acted as legal advisor to ARTMS
during the negotiations and due diligence process related to the
acquisition by Telix.
