Paratek Pharmaceuticals on Tuesday said it agreed to be acquired by a pair of healthcare investors in a deal valued at up to $462 million, including the assumption of debt.

Under the agreement, healthcare-investment firm Gurnet Point Capital and investment and holdings company Novo Holdings would pay an initial $2.15 a share in cash for the Boston biopharmaceutical company, a 9.7% premium to Monday's closing price of $1.96.

Paratek said its shareholders would also receive contingent value rights tied to commercial milestone that are potentially worth another 85 cents a share, bringing the total potential deal value to $3 a share, a 53% premium.

The transaction is slated to close in the third quarter.

Novo Holdings is owned by the Novo Nordisk Foundation, a Danish organization that controls healthcare giant Novo Nordisk.

Trading in shares of Paratek was halted premarket on Tuesday.
