Teva offers less for Bentley purchase
EXETER, N.H. Bentley Pharmaceuticals informed shareholders that they will receive a slightly lower price from purchaser Teva Pharmaceutical Industries now that the company has spun off its drug delivery business, CPEX Pharmaceuticals, according to published reports.
