non-affiliated shareholders to move forward with the acquisition of the
Bruker BioSpin Group, which is now expected to close in February. The
Bruker BioSpin Group is very complementary to Bruker BioSciences and the
transaction should allow us to expand our combined market reach,
leverage the Bruker brand, and enhance our ability to grow our
profitability and cash flows.”
