Abbott CEO Miles White is optimistic about the company’s upcoming acquisition of Alere despite previous concerns and attempts to sink the deal, according to a SeekingAlpha transcript of the company’s Q1 earnings call.
White called the company a “fixer upper”, but stated that he was “pleased to have the resolution of this matter behind us.”
“We want to go forward and close this deal. We want to close it in the next few months,” White said, according to SeekingAlpha.
