Thermo Fisher nears $12.8 billion deal
Company gains exclusive negotiating right for Life Technologies
NEW YORK — Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. emerged as the leading bidder for Life Technologies Corp. Sunday, having won exclusive negotiating rights with a bid for more than $75 a share, said two people familiar with the matter.
Negotiators hope to finish a deal and announce it before the stock market opens in New York tomorrow, but the sources said an agreement is not imminent. The bid by Thermo Fisher, a life-sciences conglomerate based in Waltham, would value Life Technologies at about $12.8 billion.
The deal would position Thermo Fisher strongly in DNA-sequencing markets and create a health-care technology giant with annual revenues of about $16 billion and 50,000 employees, according to published reports.
Life Technologies has been reviewing its options least three months, using Deutsche Bank AG and Moelis & Co. as advisers. Shares for the company, based in Carlsbad, Calif., have gained 24 percent since Jan. 17, the day before it publicly disclosed the strategic review. Life Technologies’ stock closed Friday at $68.
Executives had sought final bids by April 12, said the sources, who asked not to be identified because the process is private.
