MiniMed Group Inc (MMED) shares fell 5.68% to $18.59 on October 12, 2026. The primary driver was Medtronic plc announcing that its exchange offer to exit its remaining stake in the company was oversubscribed. This development triggered a proration process, limiting the acceptance rate for tendered Medtronic shares.

The company stated it expects to accept only about 18.3% of the tendered Medtronic shares, subject to final guaranteed delivery results. Medtronic plans to exchange all of its remaining 252,813,348 shares of MiniMed common stock. The exchange ratio is set at 4.5939 shares of MiniMed common stock for each accepted Medtronic ordinary share.
