Did they mean to say 'volume weighted average market value of the shares of each company' rather than "volume weighted average market value of each company." Who wrote the PR?
1. Volume weighted average market value of the shares of each company
2. Volume weighted average market value of each company (What are they talking about?)
So far, I have found no mergers, buyouts, acquisitions or stock repurchases based on the volume weighted average market value of the companies in question.

Giant merger of JnJ and Synthes
($ amounts used for sake of example)
Upon closing of the merger, each share of Synthes common stock you hold will be converted into the right to receive a combination of (i) $55.65 in cash and (ii) shares of Johnson & Johnson common stock.
The number of shares of Johnson & Johnson common stock you receive will depend on the average of the volume weighted average trading prices of Johnson & Johnson common stock on each of the ten trading days ending two trading days prior to the effective time of the merger.
If the average of the volume weighted average trading prices of Johnson & Johnson stock on each day during this valuation period, as converted into US$ on each day in the valuation period, is between $52.54 and $60.45, then you will receive a number of shares of Johnson & Johnson common stock having an aggregate value of $103.35 in exchange for each of your shares of Synthes common stock.
If the average of the volume weighted average trading prices of Johnson & Johnson common stock on each day during the valuation period is less than $52.54, then you will receive 1.9672 shares of Johnson & Johnson stock in exchange for each of your shares of Synthes common stock.
