C.R. Bard closes $181m Liberator Medical buy
by Brad Perriello - MassDevice

C.R. Bard acquires Liberator MedicalC.R. Bard (NYSE:BCR) said yesterday that it closed the $181 million acquisition of Liberator Medical (NYSE:LBMH), a direct-to-consumer distributor of durable medical equipment.

The deal called for Murray Hill, N.J.-based Bard to pay $3.35 per share for Liberator, a 36% premium over Liberator’s 90-day average closing price through Nov. 19, 2015, the day before the deal was announced.

At the time, Bard said its share of the Stuart, Fla.-based distributor’s offering is small and that it intends to continue to distribute other companies’ products through Liberator.

“This acquisition is a key building block in our strategy to access faster growing markets. As the population ages and more healthcare is expected to occur outside of the hospital setting, we believe that having direct access to the patient in the home is strategically important. We look forward to adding a strong distribution platform with potential for future growth to our product and technology platforms. We also look forward to continuing to work with the other manufacturers that are part of Liberator’s product offering,” chairman & CEO Timothy Ring said at the time.

Bard said last year that it expects the merger to provide a slight boost to adjusted earnings per share next year, on sales of roughly $70 million. In 2017, the Liberator business is expected to add 5¢ to 10¢ to adjusted EPS and contribute to organic sales growth.

LBMH ~ final *tally* .. due to form 4s' filed @ EO last week .. ;)


LBMH IO ~ 53,885,978

*volume* collected in a mostly 3c range from 11.20.15 to 1.21.16 ~ 20,461,944

form 4s' filed .. on 1.22.16


King-Shaw Ruben Jose JR ~ 22,026


Leger John ~ 235,165


LIBRATORE MARK A ~ 19,785,867 (yeppers that is 19.7MILLION LBMH shares)


SPRINKLE PHILIP ~ 22,026


CORBETT JEANNETTE MARIA ~ 150,013


WICK TYLER SHAW ~ 205,013


DAVIS ROBERT JOSEPH ~ 815,000



so *insiders* held 21,235,110 out of an IO of 53,885,978 .. or 39.40%

so one has to *remove* insiders holdings from the *volume* done since 11.20.15 .. or

53,885,978 - 21,235,110 = 32,650,868 .. and then do the math on the *volume*
done over 7 weeks

which is 20,461,944 .. so

20,461,944/32,650,868 = 62.66%

and almost every *trade* was held within 3 cents .. now does that really pass anyone's smell test?

so how come it passes those working within the SEC?


this is perfect example of gross incompetence and egregious greed .. or just an outright bought and paid for
system (i.e. outcome is almost always controlled)

Liberator Medical did everything right .. including being able to uplist out of the OTC .. (where they'd
been a *target* since day one of *trading*) .. doing a special one time cash div .. and then doing quarterly
cash divs .. and all the time watching their stock *targeted* and handled with NSS/abusive shorts who
literally controlled 20MILLION in *volume* in a 3cent range of 3.31 - 3.34 (cover)

and the trolling atty firms on speed dial .. if they were worth their salt .. would pursue those who enable
this garbage done to every US Equity .. regardless of where *traded* .. but they too are bought and paid for

welcome to the *new* .. old .. that is why entities' working the vehicle of choice for OTC stock manipulation
don't want discussion on abusive shorting and stock manipulation/orchestration .. *retail* is always needed
to be CONditioned .. but *retail* (with an open mind and some basic math) can ascertain what makes sense
and what doesn't

Liberator Medical is just one of the most recent examples .. and most likely why an all cash *buyout* was done

I can't even imagine Liberator's mgmt *frustration* in watching this BS year after year after year and
a bought and paid for entity (SEC) providing NOTHING in return ~ A handful of educated retail and
clearly Liberator's mgmt .. OUTLASTED this FILTH .. imo nothing beats an educated retail coupled
with an *aware* mgmt who are married to *patience* :)
