Regulation FD Disclosure.

On November 10, 2025, Surmodics, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release commenting on a decision by the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois denying a request by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and certain state regulators to issue a preliminary injunction that would have prevented the Company and GTCR LLC from consummating the proposed acquisition of the Company by an affiliate of GTCR LLC (the “Merger”).

A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

Company Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. Statements that are not historical or current facts, including statements regarding completion of the Merger, the Company’s belief that the Merger will position the Company to continue to deliver compelling benefits for physicians, patients and customers, when the pending Merger will be consummated, if at all, and its potential consequences, and conditions for consummation of the Merger, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, including the factors identified under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, and updated in our subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update them in light of new information or future events.
