What happened

QIAGEN N.V. and the EQT XI fund have agreed on an all-cash voluntary public takeover offer for all outstanding QIAGEN shares at €46.50 per share, a premium of 40.3% to the unaffected XETRA closing price of €33.15 on 8 July 2026. The transaction values QIAGEN at approximately €10.8 billion in enterprise value (approximately $12.1 billion, including approximately $1.1 billion of net debt). Co-investors are ADIA's Luxinva and CPP Investments.

QIAGEN's Supervisory Board and Managing Board unanimously recommend acceptance. Closing is expected in mid-2027, subject to a 50% plus one share minimum acceptance threshold and regulatory clearances. Jonathan M. Pratt is Chief Executive Officer of QIAGEN.
