(“Venus Concept” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: VERO), a global medical aesthetic technology leader, announced today it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Venus Hair business to MHG Co. Ltd (“Meta Healthcare Group”) in an all-cash transaction valued at $20 million, subject to a customary working capital adjustment. The net proceeds from the transaction, once completed, will enhance the Company’s balance sheet and financial condition and provide valuable capital to fund strategic growth initiatives.

“We are pleased to announce one outcome of our evaluation of strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value,” said Rajiv De Silva, Chief Executive Officer of Venus Concept. “Meta Healthcare Group is the ideal acquirer of the Venus Hair business in terms of its capabilities in the aesthetic medical field, including its presence in the hair transplant market, as well as its strategic investments.   Importantly, we believe this transaction strengthens Venus Concept by allowing us to focus on our global medical aesthetics business, which we expect will improve revenue growth, lower operating expenses, enhance the cash flow profile of the business and accelerate the path to long-term, sustainable profitability and growth. We are committed to ensuring a smooth transition for our employees, customers and other stakeholders, and we are confident Meta Healthcare Group will provide the strategic investment and resources needed to maximize the global addressable markets for the ARTAS and NeoGraft technologies.”

“We are excited to welcome the Venus Hair business to our diversified portfolio of private-brand products focused on medical devices, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics,” said Soohyun Kim, Chief Executive Officer of Meta Healthcare Group. “We believe the ARTAS and NeoGraft technologies represent differentiated solutions, addressing a large market serving patients in Asia, Europe and North America. The customer and brand loyalty for these technologies is impressive and we look forward to leveraging the strong relationships Venus has developed in support of their Hair business. Importantly, this acquisition not only aligns with our goal of expanding our hair loss-related business areas, such as hair loss care products and hair transplant surgical devices, but it will also enhance our R&D and manufacturing capabilities as well.”

Under the definitive agreement, Meta Healthcare Group will acquire Meta Robotics LLC, a newly formed subsidiary of Venus Concept, containing the Company’s portfolio of hair restoration and hair transplant technologies, related equipment, services and assets, including intellectual property relating to ARTAS and NeoGraft. Meta Healthcare Group will grant a perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide license to Venus Concept with respect to a subset of transferred patents.
