Healthcare & Life Sciences Buyouts

Activity in healthcare buyouts remained brisk, with Blackstone and TPG completing the take-private buyout of women’s health firm Hologic, a transaction that notably included substantial minority investments from the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority and an affiliate of GIC. Simultaneously, platform growth strategies continued, as H.I.G.-backed Vernacare acquired Eakin Surgical, a UK maker of single-use surgical instruments, while in a separate transaction, Graham Partners purchased medical device manufacturer Midwest Products & Engineering from seller BPOC.

Energy & Infrastructure Transactions

Private equity capital is continuing its focused deployment into the nuclear sector, evidenced by Energy Capital Partners re-acquiring Energy Solutions from Tri Artisan Capital Advisors amid what sources describe as a surge in nuclear investment. This move reflects growing sponsor interest in specialized infrastructure assets supporting the energy transition and decarbonization efforts across North America and Europe.
