Roche offers $43.7B for Genentech

Roche Holding has offered to buy the rest of Genentech, about a 44% stake it doesn't already own, for $89 a share, or about $43.7 billion.

The deal would mark one of the Swiss drug maker's biggest acquisitions and would mean about $750 million to $850 million in pre-tax savings.
