ONCAP Completes Investment in Biomerics, Merger with Precision Concepts Medical, and Significant Distribution for ONCAP IV

All amounts in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated

TORONTO, July 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ONCAP today announced it has closed a significant investment into Biomerics and provided a material realization for investors in Precision Concepts including ONCAP IV. As part of the transaction, Biomerics has merged with the medical business of ONCAP IV’s current portfolio company, Precision Concepts (“Precision Concepts Medical”) including Precision Concepts Group of Winston-Salem, NC, which was acquired from the Marino family in April 2023. This investment has been made in partnership with Biomerics’ founder and CEO Travis Sessions, current Biomerics shareholder Wasatch Equity Partners, and the Marino family. Following this transaction, Precision Concepts will become a stand-alone pure-play consumer packaging company with a dedicated focus from the existing management team on growing both organically and through mergers and acquisitions (M&A).

The investment in Biomerics was made by a combination of ONCAP IV, ONCAP V and co-investors. With the completion of this transaction, Biomerics is the second investment for ONCAP V alongside Right At School, which closed earlier this month. Proceeds to Precision Concepts were used to repay debt and provide a significant distribution to shareholders, including ONCAP IV.

Following this transaction, Biomerics has over 1.2 million square feet of manufacturing space across 13 locations making it one of the Top 10 interventional contract development and manufacturing organizations globally. Biomerics supplies 22 of the top 35 medical device OEMs and is strategically focused on high growth end markets including structural heart, electrophysiology, robotic surgery, cardiovascular disease, and endoscopy. The merger furthers Biomerics’ fully integrated capability set and positions it to best serve its OEM customers. Going forward, Biomerics will be well-capitalized with significant capacity to continue to pursue strategic M&A.

The Precision Concepts management team, led by CEO Ray Grupinski, will continue to operate the consumer packaging business, which possesses strong EBITDA margins and an attractive growth profile. We believe this transaction helps to simplify and focus the remaining Precision Concepts business, better positioning it for a successful exit in the future.
