Under the deal, expected to close after midyear, Questcor shareholders will receive $30 in cash and 0.9 shares of Mallinckrodt for each of their shares. Mallinckrodt shareholders will own approximately 50.5% of the combined company, with Questcor's commercial operations operating as a separate unit. Anaheim Hills-based Questcor's core product is Acthar, a gel designed to treat autoimmune and inflammatory conditions. "The increased cash flow and scale of operations of a combined Questcor/Mallinckrodt organization will provide an even stronger platform to support the expansion of Acthar into new therapeutic areas," said Don Bailey, the president and CEO of Questcor, http://www.questcor.com http://ir.questcor.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=838363 _____________________________________________ o WeatherBug and Little League Partner on New App Germantown, Md. -- WeatherBug, the provider of neighborhood-level weather information over the web, said on Monday it has partnered with Little League Baseball and Softball to launch a new mobile weather app specifically designed for players, coaches and their families.
