Acquisitions
While we have completed acquisitions during the nine months ended March 31, 2015, the pro forma results of operations and the results of operations for acquired businesses since the acquisition dates have not been separately disclosed because the effects were not significant compared to the consolidated financial statements, individually or in the aggregate. The cash paid for these acquisitions, net of cash acquired, was $319 million.
Cordis
On March 1, 2015, we entered into a binding offer letter with Ethicon, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, to purchase its Cordis business for a purchase price of $1.9 billion in cash, subject to certain adjustments. The acquisition of Cordis, a manufacturer and distributor of interventional cardiology devices and endovascular solutions, will expand the Medical segment's portfolio of self-manufactured products. We expect to finance the acquisition with $1.0 billion in new long-term debt with the remaining amount funded by cash on hand. In March 2015, we also entered into a $1.0 billion senior unsecured bridge term loan that may be used to complete this acquisition, as discussed further in Note 6. Cordis is a global company, with operations in more than 50 countries. The acquisition is expected to close in approximately 20 principal countries towards the end of calendar year 2015 and in the remaining countries afterward, subject to regulatory approval and customary closing conditions. Transaction and integration costs associated with the acquisition of Cordis were $21 million and $24 million during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2015, respectively, and are included in amortization and other acquisition-related costs in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings.
AccessClosure
On May 9, 2014, we completed the acquisition of Access Closure, Inc. ("AccessClosure") for $320 million in an all-cash transaction. We funded the acquisition with cash on hand. The acquisition of AccessClosure, a manufacturer and distributor of extravascular closure devices, expands the Medical segment's portfolio of self-manufactured products. The assessment of fair value for AccessClosure is preliminary and is based on information that was available at the time the condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared.
