Other headlines:Volcano executive opens NasdaqMerge updates ortho package
An 8-K filing by Amicas with the Securities and Exchange Commission added details to the company's pending acquisition of Emageon. Restrictions built into the deal require the formal tender for Emageon shares to begin no later than March 5 and to remain open at least 20 business days. The goal is to pick up 90% of outstanding shares. If the amount tendered is fewer than that percentage, yet still a majority, however, a "Top-Up Option" allows the purchase of newly issued shares equal to the number needed to achieve the 90% threshold. If the deal is not consummated for reasons tied to Emageon, the to-be-acquired company will be on the hook for a $1.6 million termination fee.
