B.F., in some instances companies restructure prior to a merger to make themselves more attractive. By combining sales forces BAY may be signaling to prospective suitors that it can operate more efficiently and possibly as a single division within a larger entity.
Alternatively, if they are in negotiations with NT, NT may want BAY to do some restructuring in advance to make the merger look more accretive to their earnings. If the financial community perceives the merger to be bad for the acquiring company, its market value may suffer. A repositioning in advance of any impending announcement may mitigate this to some degree.
