KINETIC CONCEPTS SUES HILLENBRAND INDUSTRIES
Date: 18 August 1995
By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
Kinetic Concepts Inc. said it had filed a $200 million antitrust lawsuit against Hillenbrand Industries, contending that Hillenbrand tried to capture an unfairly large share of the hospital-bed business. The suit contends that the Hill-Rom Company, a unit of Hillenbrand, required that hospitals and purchasing groups buy all their hospital beds from Hill-Rom. If the hospitals did not comply, they were denied the discounts offered to other buyers, Kinetic Concepts contends. Kinetic Concepts, which is based in San Antonio and which also makes hospital beds, said that to "limit or eliminate competition," Hill-Rom sold beds at less than the production cost. Hillenbrand called the suit baseless, saying a two-year Federal investigation of the hospital-bed business that ended in June had found no anti-competitive activities. Hillenbrand is based in Batesville, Ind.

WEYERHAEUSER TO TAKE THIRD-QUARTER CHARGE
Date: 17 August 1995
By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
The Weyerhaeuser Company said yesterday that it would take a third-quarter charge of $184 million, or 90 cents a share, as it accelerates plans to sell its less profitable real estate assets. The charge is a result of the revaluation of some real estate assets, $600 million of which the company said it planned to sell in the next 12 months. Weyerhaeuser said it had changed the timetable for selling the assets, which consist mostly of undeveloped land, because of a new accounting rule for publicly traded companies that requires a larger asset write-down than in the past. The company, based in Federal Way, Wash., is best known for its timber and paper businesses. Shares of Weyerhaeuser gained 75 cents, to $46.125, on the New York Stock Exchange.
