28 Aug 2003
Executive Summary
In a move that trumped Smith & Nephew's March 2003 bid to acquire Centerpulse AG (formerly Sulzer Medica), Zimmer came in with an offer to buy the implantable device company for stock and cash valued at $3.2bn (CHF4.2bn). S&N backed out, leaving a Zimmer-Centerpulse merger that will create the world's largest pure-play orthopedics company.
