Tenet Healthcare Corp. (THC) Buyout Offer

By Tim - http://stockstobuy.org

Tenet Healthcare Corp. (THC) has received a buyout offer from Community Health Systems, Inc. (NYSE:CYH) for $6.00 per share. Tenet Healthcare Corp. (THC) is currently trading at $6.51 in pre market, up 52%.

Tenet Healthcare Corporation (NYSE:THC - News) today confirmed that it has received a proposal from Community Health Systems, Inc. (NYSE:CYH - News) to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Tenet for $6.00 per share in cash and stock.

Tenet noted that Community Health’s proposal is identical in all material respects to a Community Health proposal received by Tenet on November 12, 2010. The Tenet Board of Directors, after consultation with its financial and legal advisors, unanimously determined that the prior Community Health proposal was not in the best interests of Tenet or its shareholders. In making its determination, the Tenet Board considered that Community Health’s opportunistic proposal would transfer the growth potential inherent in Tenet to Community Health without adequately compensating Tenet shareholders. The Tenet Board believes that the interests of Tenet shareholders would be better served by benefiting from 100% of the upside inherent in Tenet rather than accepting Community Health’s inadequate proposal. In addition, the Board has serious concerns about Community Health’s ability to integrate and operate a business like Tenet.

The Tenet Board informed Community Health of its determination,

3Par Accepts Dell's Raised Bid of $27/Share

By Tim - http://stockstobuy.org

Dell announced today that 3PAR has accepted its increased offer to acquire the storage leader for $27 per share in cash, or approximately $1.8 billion, net of 3PAR’s cash. The new Dell-3PAR accord was reached under a provision in the existing agreement between the companies that allows Dell to match competing bids.

Dell continues to believe that the acquisition of 3PAR, with its industry-leading storage technology, is important to its customers and will enhance Dell’s position in utility-storage solutions. Consistent with its previous rationale for the acquisition, Dell also believes that its global brand and broad global reach will dramatically accelerate 3PAR’s revenue growth.

The cash tender offer, through a wholly-owned Dell subsidiary, is for all outstanding shares of 3PAR common stock, without interest, and subject to reduction for any federal back-up withholding or other taxes. The offer documents will be amended to reflect the new offer price, but this will not alter the timing of the acquisition. Unless extended, the tender offer and any withdrawal rights to which 3PAR stockholders may be entitled will expire at midnight, EDT, on Sept. 20, 2010. Following acceptance for payment of shares in the tender offer and completion of the transactions contemplated in the merger agreement, 3PAR will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dell.

SNDK - Sandisk: Samsung wants to buy Sandisk - 9/05/08

Samsung came out last night and stated that they mulling a way to buyout Sandisk ( SNDK ). I wonder how the shorts feel about this today as SNDK is up nearly 32% in pre market. This is what happens when stocks are dirt cheap!

South Korea's Samsung Electronics Co. (005930.SE) Friday said it is looking at various ways of tying up with SanDisk Corp. (SNDK), including a possible acquisition of the world's largest flash memory card maker by revenue.

Analysts said an acquisition, if it pushes through, could help Samsung cut the amount of royalties it pays to SanDisk, and could further tighten its control of the global flash memory market.
"We're looking at various tie-up plans with SanDisk, including an acquisition, but nothing has been decided for now," Samsung, the world's largest maker of memory chips by revenue and units, said in a regulatory filing.

Sandisk ( SNDK ) has come out this morning and say that they recieve a lot of offers but will not comment on rumors.
