BOSTON SCIENTIFIC SHARES RISE AFTER CFO BUYS

February 17, 2006

Boston Scientific Corp. shares rose more than 8 percent on Thursday after the company disclosed that its finance chief bought a large block of shares of the medical device maker, which is working to close a $27 billion purchase of Guidant Corp. The company said that Chief Financial Officer Larry Best purchased 200,000 Boston Scientific shares for $4.5 million on Wednesday, a move analysts said was a signal to investors to follow suit.
