As a strategic investor in Bolt Medical, Boston Scientific has an equity stake of approximately 26 percent. As a result, the transaction consists of an upfront payment of approximately $443 million for the 74 percent stake not yet owned and up to $221 million upon achievement of certain regulatory milestones.

Boston Scientific anticipates the transaction to be completed in the first half of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. On an adjusted basis, the company expects the transaction to be slightly dilutive to adjusted earnings per share (EPS) in 2025, and to offset via internal cost efficiencies and trade-offs.
