Integer shareholders approve $5.7 billion acquisition by KKR

Integer Holdings’ stockholders voted to approve KKR’s proposed purchase of the company. The vote recorded 26,065,335 shares in favor, 10,513 against and 1,993 abstentions. The transaction, announced in August, is valued at $5.7 billion and is slated to close by the end of 2026 pending regulatory clearance. Debt financing for the deal is being arranged by Citigroup.

The approval clears a key hurdle for the $5.7 billion deal, allowing KKR to move toward closing and provide Integer with long‑term capital and greater flexibility as a portfolio company. The transaction also signals a sizable M&A activity in the medical‑device CDMO sector.
