Curious factoid: PFE was the acquiring company in three of the nine highest-premium buyouts in the table in #msg-65401590.

PLB.TO acquires DDS.TO for C$0.2857/sh in cash:

This appears to be another case of trying to make an eagle out of two turkeys. I’ve previously commented on Labopharm’s pathetic drug portfolio (especially Oleptro), so I won’t repeat that info here. The buyout values DDS.TO (net of cash on hand) at about $15M and is a 68% premium to yesterday’s closing price.
