Endo Pharmaceuticals agreed to acquire American Medical Systems for $30.00 per share, approximately $2.9 billion including assumed debt, announced April 2011 and completed June 2011. The transaction diversified Endo beyond specialty pharma into urology and pelvic-health medical devices (incontinence, ED, BPH and prolapse implants) as a hedge against its branded-drug patent cliffs. Endo later divested the Men's Health business to Boston Scientific in 2015 and wound down Women's Health amid pelvic-mesh litigation.
