Telix and ITM Join Forces to Create a Radiopharmaceutical Powerhouse
The deal gives Telix greater control of isotope supply and could add up to $700 million in milestone payments tied to ITM-11 approvals.
On Monday, Telix Pharmaceuticals announced it will acquire German isotope maker ITM Isotope Technologies Munich in a transaction valued at least $1.65 billion, creating a vertically integrated radiopharmaceutical leader.
The merger combines Telix's therapeutic pipeline with ITM's commercial-scale radioisotope production, capitalizing on the nuclear medicine market forecast to reach $41 billion by 2034.
Under the agreement, Telix shareholders will own approximately 76.3% of the combined group, while ITM shareholders will receive about $1.25 billion in Telix shares and own 23.7%.
Additional milestone payments of up to $700 million depend on regulatory approvals and sales targets for ITM-11, a candidate for treating neuroendocrine tumors.
Completion is expected by end of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and an extraordinary general meeting for Telix shareholders scheduled for November 2026.
