GALWAY, Ireland, Feb. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MiniMed Group, Inc. (MiniMed), a subsidiary of Medtronic plc (Medtronic) (NYSE: MDT), today announced that it has launched a roadshow for the initial public offering (IPO) of 28,000,000 shares of its common stock. The proposed offering is part of Medtronic's previously announced plan to separate its Diabetes business into an independent public company.
The IPO price is currently expected to be between $25.00 and $28.00 per share. The underwriters will also be granted a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 4,200,000 shares at the IPO price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. MiniMed expects to list its common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (Nasdaq) under the symbol "MMED."
Upon completion of the IPO, Medtronic will hold approximately 90.03% of MiniMed (or 88.70% if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full). MiniMed intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes. The remainder, if any, will be used to repay intercompany debt owed to Medtronic and as additional consideration to Medtronic for certain assets transferred to MiniMed in the separation.
