Here is a glimpse of COV aquisition strategy

On May 26, 2010, Covidien plc (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing entry into a definitive agreement to sell its Specialty Chemicals business to an affiliate of New Mountain Capital, L.L.C. for a cash purchase price of $280 million.

The decision to divest Specialty Chemicals was made following a thorough 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.

step 1) sell radio pharnacies to Triad (should be closed by May 31
step 2) aquire or partner with a company with higher margin capability
