UnitedHealth Group has agreed to acquire Amedisys for $101 a
share.
The healthcare-services provider said in a securities filing on
Monday it has agreed to a merger with UnitedHealth in which each
Amedisys share will be converted into the right to $101 in
cash.
Amedisys will become a wholly owned subsidiary of
UnitedHealth.
The Baton Rouge, La.-based company said earlier this month that
it had received an unsolicited proposal from a unit of UnitedHealth
for a takeover at $100 a share.
The new bid disrupted Amedisys' previously announced plans to
combine with Option Care in an all-stock deal.
Amedisys shares ticked up by less than 1% to $91.74 in premarket
trading.
