Reckitt Benckiser to buy Mead Johnson

Reuters - UK Focus

LONDON, Feb 10 (Reuters) - Reckitt Benckiser (Xetra: A0M1W6 - news) has agreed to buy U.S. infant formula maker Mead Johnson Nutrition for $16.6 billion, marking its first step into baby formula, it said on Friday.

Reckitt, the British maker of Lysol cleaners and Durex condoms, will pay $90 a share for the company, a 30 percent premium to the stock's closing price the day before news of the company's talks was reported.

Including Mead Johnson's debt, the deal is worth $17.9 billion.
