With little more than a week to go before its $248 million deal to acquire Amicas Inc. (NSDQ:AMCS) is slated to close, Merge Healthcare Inc. (NSDQ:MRGE) extended its tender offer for Amicas shares through April 23.
Through the end of trading on April 15, shareholders controlling a combined 89.8 percent of Amicas stock had tendered their shares — just under the 90 percent goal the two medical information and image management companies set for tying a bow on their proposed merger.
