(Even excluding the interest rate on the loan). The report suggests that after Biomet falls under the rules of a publicly traded company, things will change. Get ready Biomet, your company is ruined.
Actually it seems more like Biomet bought Zimmer with Zimmer money. Upper management is more Biomet than Zimmer. Biomet loose standards are going to ruin both companies. After Zimmer just spent 1/2 billion in making their last 30 years of product paperwork has all their i's dotted and t's crossed. Now the new standard is outsource and more profit for upper management.
