Vocera Communications Inc. shares rose 27% to $79.13, near the
$79.25 a share acquisition price in the deal for Stryker Corp. to
acquire digital care coordination and communication platform
Vocera.
Medical technology company Stryker earlier agreed to buy Vocera
in a deal with a total equity value of about $2.97 billion and a
total enterprise value of about $3.09 billion, including
convertible notes.
"The importance of this growing segment has continued to expand
throughout the pandemic as it aims to reduce cognitive overload for
caregivers and enables them to deliver the best patient care
possible," Stryker said.
"Today's milestone represents an exciting opportunity for Vocera
given the clear alignment of mission, goals and culture between our
two organizations and our ability to drive even greater economic
and clinical value for our customers," said Vocera Chief Executive
Brent Lang.
Stryker said Vocera brings a complementary portfolio to its
Medical division that will address the need for hospitals to
connect caregivers and data-generating medical devices.
Stryker said it expects the acquisition to close in the first
quarter and expects the deal to have a neutral impact to earnings
per share in 2022.
