ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS.
Boston Scientific Corporation (the Company) today announced the exercise of its option to acquire Cameron Health, Inc., a privately held company based in San Clemente, California. Cameron Health has developed the world's first and only commercially available subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator - the S-ICD® system. A new alternative to traditional ICDs, the entire S-ICD system sits just below the skin and leaves the heart and blood vessels untouched. Closing of the transaction is subject to customary conditions, including relevant antitrust clearance, and is expected to occur in the second or third quarter of 2012.
A copy of the Company's press release announcing the option exercise is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. Provided, however, that information on or connected to our website or the website of any third-party hyperlinked from or referenced in the Company's press release included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K is expressly not incorporated by reference into or intended to be filed as a part of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
