- Thursday, January 31, 4:09 PM Despite the marketshare gains Cardiovascular Systems (CSII) has made with its Diamondback and Stealth devices for treating narrowed or blocked arteries in the leg, the real value in the company may lie in its takeout potential, says Seeking Alpha contributor Stephen Simpson. CR Bard, Cook, BSX, JNJ, MDT and ABT all have sales forces in the peripheral treatment space, making them solid candidates for a possible buyout of CSII. Comment! [Healthcare, M&A]
- Tuesday, January 8, 7:26 PM Nestle (NSRGY.PK) is looking to sell nearly $1B of its Latin American assets in an effort to secure regulatory approval for its $12B purchase of Pfizer's (PFE) nutrition unit. The company is in the early stages of the process, with the assets potentially drawing interest from H.J. Heinz (HNZ), Danone (DANOY.PK), Abbott Laboratories (ABT) and Mead Johnson Nutrition (MJN). Comment! [Consumer, Global & FX, M&A]
- Thursday, January 3, 5:08 PM Abbott Labs (ABT), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and Sanofi (SNY) have all displayed an interest in Warburg Pincus' Bausch & Lomb. Warburg, working through Goldman Sachs (GS), is hoping to get at least $10B for the business and is seeking first-round bids by month’s end. The $10B price tag would be a major coup for Warburg, raking in a 200% return off its $1.7b equity investment. 1 Comment [Healthcare, M&A]
- Tuesday, December 11, 2012, 6:48 PM Goldman Sachs (GS) gets the nod by Warburg Pincus to explore a sale of Bausch & Lomb, the company's eye-care division.

According to reports, Goldman has already contacted Sanofi (SNY), GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), and Merck (MRK) this month, and that Abbott Laboratories (ABT) will be among the other companies contacted. Comment! [Healthcare, M&A]
- Wednesday, February 29, 2012, 7:45 AM Galapagos CEO Onno van de Stolpe calls the development deal with Abbott Laboratories (ABT) announced earlier today the "largest Phase 2 deal in the history of the industry." The agreement will line up Abbott in competition with Pfizer (PFE) in a race to develop a widely used rheumatoid arthritis drug. Shares of Galapagos are up 22% in Brussels trading. 2 Comments [M&A, Global & FX, Healthcare]
- Tuesday, January 31, 2012, 11:21 AM Companies lining up to take a hard look at buying a stake in Turkish drugmaker Mustafa Nevzat Ilac Sanayii in a deal that may value the company at $1B include GSK, LLY, PFE, ABT and MYL.

- Thursday, January 12, 2012, 5:03 PM Nestle (NSRGY.PK) and Danone (DANOY.PK) have made initial bids for Pfizer's (PFE) baby-formula division, reports Bloomberg. However, sources claim Pfizer may still opt to spin off the business rather than sell it. It was claimed in July that the unit could fetch as much as $10.5B. Yesterday, Abbott Laboratories (ABT) said it isn't interested in making a bid. Comment! [Consumer, M&A]
- Friday, July 29, 2011, 3:03 AM Nestle (NSRGY.PK) , Danone (DANOY.PK) and Abbott Laboratories (ABT) are likely to bid for Pfizer's (PFE) infant-nutrition unit, sources say.
