According to the depository for the offer, 4,285,810 shares, representing approximately 92.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of Gamma Biologicals, were tendered pursuant to the offer (including approximately 20,956 shares subject to guarantees of delivery).

We will offer the most comprehensive product line in the blood bank serology business including two emerging technologies, Capture(R) and ReAct(R). These two technologies, applied to our family of automated systems, will fuel future growth and position Immucor as the leading company in our industry.''
