Retrogenix Limited
On March 30, 2021 (second fiscal quarter of 2021), the Company acquired Retrogenix Limited (Retrogenix) for approximately £35 million in cash (or approximately $48 million based on current exchange rates), subject to customary closing adjustments. In addition to the initial purchase price, the transaction includes a potential additional payment of up to £5 million based on future performance (or approximately $7 million based on current exchange rates). Retrogenix is an early-stage contract research organization providing specialized bioanalytical services utilizing its proprietary cell microarray technology. The acquisition of Retrogenix enhances the Company’s scientific expertise with additional large molecule and cell therapy discovery capabilities. The acquisition was funded through a combination of available cash and proceeds from the Company’s Credit Facility. This business will be reported as part of the Company’s DSA reportable segment. Due to the limited time between the acquisition date and the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, it is not practicable for the Company to disclose the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company incurred transaction and integration costs in connection with the acquisition of $0.8 million during the three months ended March 27, 2021, which were included in Selling, general and administrative expenses within the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.
Cognate BioServices, Inc.
On March 29, 2021 (second fiscal quarter of 2021), the Company acquired Cognate BioServices, Inc. (Cognate BioServices) for approximately $875 million in cash, subject to customary closing adjustments. Cognate BioServices is a cell and gene therapy contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) offering comprehensive manufacturing solutions for cell therapies, as well as for the production of plasmid DNA and other inputs in the CDMO value chain. The acquisition of Cognate BioServices establishes the Company as a scientific partner for cell and gene therapy development, testing, and manufacturing, providing clients with an integrated solution from basic research and discovery through cGMP production. The acquisition was funded through a combination of available cash and proceeds from the Company’s Credit Facility and recently issued Senior Notes. This business will be reported as part of the Company’s Manufacturing reportable segment. Due to the limited time between the acquisition date and the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, it is not practicable for the Company to disclose either the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed or the pro forma consolidated results of operations as if the Cognate BioServices acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the period immediately preceding the period of acquisition after giving effect to certain adjustments. The Company incurred transaction and integration costs in connection with the acquisition of $7.2 million during the three months ended March 27, 2021, which were included in Selling, general and administrative expenses within the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.

The acquisition of Distributed Bio expands the Company’s capabilities with an innovative, large-molecule discovery platform, and creates an integrated, end-to-end platform for therapeutic antibody and cell and gene therapy discovery and development. The preliminary purchase price of Distributed Bio was $97.0 million, net of $0.8 million in cash, subject to certain post-closing adjustments that may change the purchase price.
