Danaher Corporation is going to buy Beckman Coulter for an estimated amount of $5.8 billion in cash said reports on Monday.
Danaher was reported to have agreed to pay $83.50 a share as a tender offer for the maker of diagnostic research equipment’s shares.
H. Lawrence Culp Jr., President and Chief Executive of Danaher said on a statement:
“Beckman Coulter is an iconic company with a great brand, broad reach and technology leadership; well positioned in the markets it serves.”
