Executive Summary
Boston Scientific has completed the sale of its fluid management and venous access businesses to private New York equity firm Avista Capital Partners for $425m. An agreement for the all-cash deal was originally signed in December (see Clinica No 1287, p 1). The closing of the sale brings about the completion of Boston's plans to divest its five non-core businesses. Boston is currently undergoing major restructuring initiative to pull the company back into profitable growth. The Natick-Massachusetts-based company expects the divestment to result in after-tax gain of around $120m during the first quarter of 2008.
