Guidant buys CTS for $313mm in stock

03 Sep 1999

Executive Summary

Guidant is buying minimally invasive surgical company CardioThoracic Systems in a stock swap that values CTS common shares at $19.50 each, a slight premium ((pr)2%) to its 10-day pre-announcement price. The transaction values CTS at $313mm, and will be accounted for as a pooling of interest. Although the premium is small, CTS's stock is trading at its highest price in several years. It went public in 1996 at $18, but last September its shares were trading in the $3-4 range, and have steadily increased since then.
