Oct 8 (Reuters) - Bristol-Myers Squibb BMY.N is set to
acquire cancer drugmaker Mirati Therapeutics MRTX.O for $58
per share in cash, representing $4.8 billion equity value.
Bristol-Myers Squibb will finance the transaction with a
combination of cash and debt.
The transaction is expected to be dilutive to Bristol-Myers
Squibb's non-GAAP earnings per share by approximately 35 cents
per share in the first 12 months after the transaction closes.
