Hill-Rom to draw on credit facilities to help fund Mortara acquisition
By Angela McDaniels
Tacoma, Wash., Jan. 10 – Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc. plans to use borrowings under existing credit facilities and cash on hand to finance its acquisition of Mortara Instrument, Inc., according to a company news release.
The company agreed to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of Mortara for $330 million and expects the transaction to close this quarter.
The company expects to qualify for a tax benefit with a net present value of about $40 million, which reduces the effective purchase price to about $290 million.
Hill-Rom is a Chicago-based medical technology company. Mortara makes diagnostic cardiology and patient monitoring products and is based in Milwaukee.
