Cynosure to Acquire Palomar Medical Technologies

Cynosure has inked a definitive agreement to acquire Palomar Medical Technologies . The purchase will be a mix of stock and cash at a total value of roughly $294 million. Palomar shareholders will receive $13.65 per share in the buyout -- half in stock and half in cash.

The company's stock closed at $13.17 after the deal was announced.

Their combined 2012 revenue was around $234 million.
