Bradley buyout spurns founder
European drugmaker Nycomed yesterday said it plans to acquire Bradley Pharmaceuticals for $346 million and take it private, thwarting a similar bid by Bradley's founder. News of the $20-a-share offer for the Fairfield-based specialty pharmaceutical company sent shares of Bradley up more than 22 percent by the close of regular trading. The deal represented a 25 percent premium to Bradley's closing price Monday, but was less than the $21.50 a share the company's chief executive, Daniel Glassman, offered in May. Glassman founded the company in 1985, naming it after his son, who now works as a sales executive in the business. But Glassman's control of the company weakened last year, when a Boston hedge fund launched a proxy fight that led to a number of concessions, including changes in the composition of the board of directors.
