Executive Summary
Terminate negotiations over Baxter's acquisition of Stuart's medical supply division. According to a Feb. 19 Baxter press release, "the companies were unable to agree on the terms of the definitive agreement." Baxter had announced in November that it reached an agreement in principle to acquire the supply business for 6.5 mil. shares of its common stock and the assumption of $155 mil. of Stuart debt ("The Gray Sheet" Nov. 23, I&W-9).
