Date: 23 January 1996
AP
Johnson & Johnson said yesterday that it would complete its $1.8 billion purchase of the Cordis Corporation, a medical device maker, ending weeks of uncertainty about whether the deal would go through. Cordis shares soared $7.8125, or almost 8 percent, to $107.5625, in Nasdaq trading. Johnson & Johnson, the world's largest health-care-products company, spurred worries last month about its $109-a-share acquisition, saying it needed an extra month to go over Cordis's books. Johnson & Johnson refused to say what it was looking for and Cordis shares plunged 11 percent in one day. Although Johnson & Johnson still would not say what it found, the two companies said that Cordis's shareholders would meet on Feb. 23 to give final approval to the deal.
