Covidien Announces Definitive Agreement to Sell U.S. Radiopharmacies
DUBLIN, Dec 17, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Covidien (NYSE: COV), a leading global provider of healthcare products, today announced a definitive agreement to sell its radiopharmacies in the United States to Triad Isotopes, Inc. of Orlando, Florida. Triad operates a network of 26 nuclear radiopharmacies and six cyclotron facilities in the southeast United States. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
The decision to divest the network of 37 Mallinckrodt radiopharmacies was made following a thorough review and evaluation of a number of strategic alternatives. The decision is consistent with Covidien's strategy to streamline its portfolio and reallocate resources to its faster-growing, higher-margin businesses, where the Company has or can develop a global competitive advantage. The move allows the Company greater focus on continuing to develop and provide quality products that deliver better value and help to improve patient outcomes.
Hmmm very interesting...Also from Cardinal Health's Q3 financial filing:
