PLANO, Texas, April 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Integer Holdings Corporation (NYSE:ITGR), a leading global medical device contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), today announced that its Board of Directors (the "Board") has initiated a strategic review. In consultation with its financial and legal advisors, the Board will consider a full range of potential opportunities including, but not limited to, a sale, merger, or strategic business combination as compared to the value creation opportunities from continued execution of the Company's standalone strategy. The Board is committed to pursuing the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to maximize value.

"Integer is recognized as an industry leader, with world-class engineering and manufacturing capabilities, strong long-term customer relationships, a broad and deep portfolio, a robust and diversified pipeline, and exposure to attractive high-growth markets," said Pamela G. Bailey, Integer's Chair of the Board. "The Board remains confident in Integer's strategy and long-term growth prospects. However, given the strong interest we have received in the Company, the Board believes now is the right time to consider all opportunities to further enhance stockholder value."

"Over the past several years and through disciplined execution of our strategy, we have continued to strengthen Integer's position as a leader in the contract development and manufacturing space, building a truly differentiated company," said Payman Khales, Integer's President and CEO. "Integer is a trusted partner to some of the most innovative companies in the medical device ecosystem. We remain focused on delivering value for our customers while we explore all options to maximize value for our stockholders."

There is no deadline or definitive timeline set for the completion of the strategic review, and there can be no assurance that the review will result in any transaction or other outcome. Integer does not intend to make any further public comments on the process unless and until it determines that further disclosure is appropriate or necessary.
