Siemens Healthineers completed its all cash acquisition of Varian Medical Systems on April 15, 2021. Varian shareholders received $177.50 per Varian share in the merger. As an all-cash transaction, treat this as a Sell transaction in the accounting software. The sale proceeds should = 177.50 x (# of Varian shares held). If you were charged a reorganization fee, or other commission/fees, remember to include the sum of all commissions/fees for the sale. The net proceeds should = Sale proceeds -(sum of commissions and fees).
