NxStage to Merge with Fresenius Medical Care

In October 217, NxStage's stockholders voted to adopt the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated August 07, 2017, with Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc., whereby Fresenius will acquire NxStage through a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fresenius. The approval of the Merger Agreement fulfilled an important condition for the full acquisition of NxStage. Upon completion of the merger, NxStage's stockholders would be entitled to receive $30 in cash, without interest, for each share of NxStage's common stock that such stockholder owns. The merger, expected to be completed in 2018, remains subject to additional customary closing conditions, including regulatory review under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act in the US.
