&lt;p style="margin-top: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;2. Acquisitions &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 6px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;On July 6, 2010, the company acquired all of the outstanding stock of SenoRx, Inc. ("SenoRx") for a purchase price of $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;11.00&lt;/font&gt; per share in cash, totaling $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;213.5&lt;/font&gt; million. SenoRx was a public company engaged in the manufacture and sale of minimally-invasive medical devices used in the percutaneous diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. SenoRx's products expand Bard's existing biopsy product portfolio to include the EnCor&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="1"&gt;&lt;sup style="position: relative; bottom: 0.8ex; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt; &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="1"&gt;&lt;sup style="position: relative; bottom: 0.8ex; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&amp;#174;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/font&gt; stereotactic-guided and MRI-guided breast biopsy systems, the Gel Mark&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="1"&gt;&lt;sup style="position: relative; bottom: 0.8ex; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt; &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="1"&gt;&lt;sup style="position: relative; bottom: 0.8ex; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&amp;#174; &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/font&gt;line of breast tissue markers and the Contura&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="1"&gt;&lt;sup style="position: relative; bottom: 0.8ex; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt; &lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="1"&gt;&lt;sup style="position: relative; bottom: 0.8ex; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&amp;#174;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/font&gt; balloon catheter for the treatment of breast cancer. Substantially all of the purchase price for the acquisition was funded through the issuance of commercial paper. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, and the results of operations have been included in the company's results since the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation at fair value resulted in the recognition of: deferred tax assets of $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;38.3&lt;/font&gt; million, consisting primarily of net operating loss carryforwards; core technologies of $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;95.1&lt;/font&gt; million; deferred tax liabilities of $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;43.3&lt;/font&gt; million, primarily associated with core technologies; and other net assets of $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;24.0&lt;/font&gt; million consisting of cash, accounts receivable and inventories. An indefinite-lived intangible asset of $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;12.8&lt;/font&gt; million was also recorded primarily for the next generation of the EnCor&lt;font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="1"&gt;&lt;sup style="position: relative; bottom: 0.8ex; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&amp;#174;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/font&gt; stereotactic-guided breast biopsy system. The fair value of this intangible asset was determined based upon the present value of expected future cash flows adjusted for the probability of technological and commercial risk, utilizing a risk-adjusted discount rate. The excess of the purchase price over fair value of the acquired net assets was recorded as goodwill of $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;86.6&lt;/font&gt; million. The goodwill recognized is attributable to expected cost synergies and other benefits created by the expanded and more comprehensive biopsy product portfolio as a result of the acquisition. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. Core technologies will be amortized over their estimated useful lives of approximately&amp;nbsp;&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;10&lt;/font&gt; years. The company incurred acquisition related transaction costs of $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;3.2&lt;/font&gt; million, which were expensed to marketing, selling and administrative expense. The company has not yet finalized the purchase accounting, which may be adjusted as further information about conditions existing at the acquisition date becomes available. In connection with this acquisition, the company recorded charges of $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;6.9&lt;/font&gt; million ($&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;4.2&lt;/font&gt; million after tax) to other (income) expense, net, associated with the termination of existing SenoRx commercial agreements, the settlement of disputes that arose under certain of these agreements and integration costs. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-top: 12px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;On May 20, 2010, the company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bard Holdings Limited, acquired the remaining &lt;font class="_mt"&gt;15&lt;/font&gt;% of the common shares that it did not already own of its Malaysian manufacturing operation, Bard Sendirian Berhad, for $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;25.9&lt;/font&gt; million. In connection with the transaction, Bard's shareholders' investment was reduced by $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;13.2&lt;/font&gt; million, which represented the excess of the cash paid over the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin-top: 12px; text-indent: 4%; margin-bottom: 0px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="2"&gt;On April 12, 2010, the company acquired all of the outstanding stock of FlowCardia, Inc. ("FlowCardia"), a privately-held company engaged in the design and manufacture of endovascular products used in the treatment of chronic total occlusions ("CTOs"), for total consideration of $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;80.1&lt;/font&gt; million. FlowCardia's products complement Bard's percutaneous transluminal angioplasty products and peripheral stents. FlowCardia's Crosser&lt;font style="font-family: Times New Roman;" class="_mt" size="1"&gt;&lt;sup style="position: relative; bottom: 0.8ex; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&amp;#174;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/font&gt; product line of clinically-proven catheters deliver vibrational energy, enabling physicians to cross CTOs and allow for subsequent therapies, such as balloon angioplasty, stent implantation and atherectomy. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, and the results of operations have been included in the company's results since the acquisition date. The purchase price allocation at fair value resulted in the recognition of: deferred tax assets of $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;17.0&lt;/font&gt; million, consisting primarily of net operating loss carryforwards; core technologies of $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;46.4&lt;/font&gt; million; deferred tax liabilities of $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;19.3&lt;/font&gt; million primarily associated with core technologies; and other net assets of $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;3.0&lt;/font&gt; million. In addition, an indefinite-lived intangible asset of $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;4.7&lt;/font&gt; million was recorded for follow-on product applications for CTOs. The excess of the purchase price over fair value of the acquired net assets was recorded as goodwill of $&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;28.3&lt;/font&gt; million. The goodwill recognized is attributable to complementary product sales opportunities and expected cost synergies. The goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. Core technologies will be amortized over their estimated useful lives of approximately&amp;nbsp;&lt;font class="_mt"&gt;11&lt;/font&gt; years. The company has not yet finalized the purchase accounting, which may be adjusted as further information about conditions existing at the acquisition date becomes available. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;</NonNumbericText>
