Monogram Technologies and Zimmer Biomet resubmit merger filing for FTC review

Monogram Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:MGRM), whose stock has surged over 150% in the past six months and currently trades near its 52-week high of $6.02, announced Thursday that Zimmer Biomet Holdings, Inc., in consultation with Monogram, has voluntarily withdrawn and resubmitted its pre-merger notification to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regarding their proposed merger. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a healthy balance sheet with a current ratio of 2.16. The resubmission, made under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act (HSR Act), initiates a new 30-day waiting period for regulatory review, set to expire on October 6, 2025, unless terminated earlier or extended.

According to a statement based on a recent SEC filing, this procedure is intended to provide the FTC with additional time to review the transaction. The agreement and plan of merger, originally signed on July 11, 2025, and amended on August 27, 2025, outlines that Monogram Technologies, currently valued at $244.2 million, would become a wholly owned subsidiary of Zimmer Biomet upon completion of the merger. Analysts maintain a Strong Buy consensus on MGRM with price targets ranging from $6.00 to $10.80.

Both companies stated that withdrawing and refiling pre-merger notifications is a standard practice to allow more time for antitrust review of certain transactions. Monogram Technologies and Zimmer Biomet said they are continuing to cooperate with FTC staff as the review proceeds.
