Boston Scientific's Drive To Add To Core Strength Continues With BTG Buy

When Boston Scientific chief medical officer Ian Meredith spoke in mid-2018 of the group's appetite for core M&A, there was a sense that more strategic moves were likely before the year was out. The inference was right, and a busy year for Boston Scientific got much busier when it made a cash offer for UK interventional medicine specialist BTG PLC. The bid values the target company at $4.28 billion, and completion is expected by mid-2019.
