LONDON (Alliance News) - Synergy Health PLC said Monday the US Federal Trade Commission has requested additional information from both it and STERIS Corp in regards to STERIS's proposed USD1.9 billion cash and share takeover offer for the company.
The is the second request for information and documentary material from the FTC. Synergy said that both companies are cooperating with the FTC in the review of the acquisition, and noted that whilst both companies continue to work on closing the deal in the first quarter of 2015, this second request may delay the completion of the acquisition.
Health services company Synergy recommended the takeover offer from the US medical technology and hospital services firm last October.
