Lantheus Holdings, Inc. Announces Public Secondary Offering

# data[].attributes.body
For more than a decade, Thompson Dean has led Avista Capital Partners as its chief executive officer. Thompson Dean focuses primarily on growth investments and control buyouts in the health care sector. The Avista portfolio includes Lantheus Holdings, Inc., which serves as the parent company of Lantheus Medical Imaging. The latter organization has emerged as a global leader in the design and manufacture of diagnostic imaging products.

Key Lantheus products are used to diagnose cardiovascular disease and include Xenon, an inhaled radiopharmaceutical imaging agent, and an echocardiography contrast agent called DEFINITY.

In June, Lantheus announced an agreement for a public secondary offering. The agreement involves the sale of 3,000,000 shares of common stock that will be offered by previously identified existing stockholders. Proceeds from the sale of these shares will benefit stockholders, not the company. The underwriters for the offering include Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and Credit Suisse Securities.

A shelf registration statement, which includes a prospectus for the offering, is currently on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Acino Announces Acquisition of Litha Healthcare

# data[].attributes.body
The cofounder and CEO of New York-based Avista Capital Partners, Thompson Dean leverages his extensive experience as an investor in multiple business sectors to benefit Avista. Under Thompson Dean’s stewardship, Avista aims to achieve long-term returns through its hands-on approach to portfolio management.

In February of 2017, Avista announced the acquisition of South Africa’s Litha Healthcare by Acino, one of Avista’s acquired companies. The transaction, which was made alongside several Endo International subsidiaries, will bolster Acino’s efforts to enter high-potential markets in Africa and the Middle East. This will be accomplished by providing the Swedish pharmaceutical manufacturer with immediate access to an established South African presence that it can use as a platform to further its efforts throughout the continent.

The deal is anticipated to close at some point during the second quarter of 2017. Acino CEO Kalle Kand noted that the company chose Litha for its strong market positioning, established product pipeline, and existing business relationships.

In 2012, Thompson Dean, a co-managing partner of the private equity firm Avista Capital Partners, was offered a price on a Roy Lichtenstein painting that a Gagosian Gallery staffer characterized as so low as to be "cruel and offensive" to the seller. Mr. Dean took the deal, paying $2 million for Girl in Mirror, another version of which had recently sold for more than twice that amount. Now, it seems, the financier has applied his savings to real estate, paying $16.5 million for a condo at 525 Park Avenue that the sellers, David and Connie L ittman, bought last year for just $13.85 million.

Given that Mr. and Ms. Littman are the proprietors of Hudson Valley Lighting, a company whose umbrella encompasses a variety of specialized, high-end brands, we have to guess that Mr. Dean's art collection will be splendidly lit in his new home. The condo is a four-bedroom, 3,794-square-foot floor-through combination with "a magnificent living room, reception room, huge formal dining room" and paneled library, according to the listing, which was held by Brian J. Manning at Brown Harris Stevens. Abundant natural light from views in all directions is augmented by newly-installed Lutron lighting, and the unit includes a parking space, which likely came in handy for the Littmans, who list a home address in Newburgh, New York.

But if his in-house collection proves insufficient to satisfy Mr. Dean's cultural palate, Museum Mile is just a short walk away-to say nothing of Mr. Gagosian's outlet at 77th and Madison-and Chelsea's galleries become all the more accessible with a car stored close to home.

No word on where Mr. and Ms. Littman are headed next, but with the generous proceeds of their sale-and recent spreads in Elle Decor and House Beautiful to their name-they shouldn't have much trouble finding thoroughly comfortable digs, in Manhattan, or well beyond.
