Merck & Co. (MRK) has agreed to acquire the privately held animal health technology provider Antelliq Group from BC Partners for a deal valued at about 2.1 billion euros ($2.37 billion) in cash.

Merck said it would make a cash payment to acquire all the outstanding shares of the company. It would assume roughly EUR1.15 billion in debt.

Antelliq will be a wholly owned and independently run subsidiary of Merck's Animal Health division.

The biopharmaceutical company is looking to expand its animal health business portfolio, particularly toward technology and services. Antelliq provides digital animal identification, traceability and monitoring services for farmers and veterinarians.

The deal is expected to close in the second quarter of 2019.
