2008Â—Standard&amp;Poor's Ratings Services today said that the U.S. Supreme Court's rejection of an appeal by Boston Scientific Corp. (BB+/Negative/--) regarding last week's $703 million jury finding (U.S. District Court in Delaware) will have no impact on the rating. Boston Scientific continues to explore other avenues of appeal. In the event that it was unsuccessful, the company had $1.6 billion of cash as of June 30, 2008. In addition, since amended covenants permit a $500 million carve-out for legal judgments (for a rolling 12 months), the company's ability to comply with covenants will not be compromised.

Both Mr. Abele and Mr. Peter Nicholas (the  founders) remain on the board, the latter as chairman.  The presence of the founders - who ha ve a large stake in the co mpany - does serve to minimize any concerns that  senior management may be held un accountable.

These concerns are partly offset by the company's broad portfolio of market-leading medical devices, geographic diversity (46% of sales are derived outside the U.S.) and its strong cash flow. The April 2006 Guidant acquisition increased debt to $9 billion from $2 billion, but provided a line of cardiac rhythm management (CRM) devices. Boston Scientific faces challenges in two of its key markets, drug-eluting stents (DES) and CRM, which contributed 19% and 29% of consolidated net sales in the second quarter of 2008, respectively. The DES market has deteriorated because of perceived safety issues relative to bare metal stents, and the effectiveness</spcred:index_entry_excerpt><spcred:index_entry_primcountry xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">USA</spcred:index_entry_primcountry><spcred:index_entry_primcusip xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">101137</spcred:index_entry_primcusip><spcred:index_entry_primcusip xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">10113T</spcred:index_entry_primcusip><spcred:index_entry_primcusip xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">10113U</spcred:index_entry_primcusip><spcred:index_entry_primgics xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">35101010 351010 3510 35</spcred:index_entry_primgics><spcred:index_entry_primissuer xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Boston Scientific Corp.</spcred:index_entry_primissuer><spcred:index_entry_primissuerid xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">305989</spcred:index_entry_primissuerid><spcred:index_entry_primreg xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">USA</spcred:index_entry_primreg><spcred:index_entry_primticker xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">BSX</spcred:index_entry_primticker><spcred:index_entry_reporttype xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">SUMMARY</spcred:index_entry_reporttype><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">GLOBISS</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">CORP</spcred:index_entry_sector><spcred:index_entry_sector xmlns:spcred="http://www.alacra.com/spcred">Health</spcred:index_entry_sector><category>Credit &amp; Investment Research</category><alacra:ip>S&amp;P Credit Research</alacra:ip></item><item><link>http://www.alacrastore.com/storecontent/ccbn/T1984993</link><guid isPermaLink="false">ccbn/T1984993</guid><ccbn:index_mode xmlns:ccbn="http://www.alacra.com/ccbn">norm</ccbn:index_mode><description>...Jim, a couple of questions.

We have Jim Tobin, the CEO of the company here, also Sam Leno, the Chief Financial Officer, and  Larry Neumann's also in the room who runs the investor relations department. Boston Scientific is a stock we actually just initiated on with a buy rating basic thesis that a lot of the stuff that's caused some turmoil in the stock over the last couple years are now emerging from that with new products and the markets they are in have stabilized, and so I think it's a very interesting story at this point in this life cycle. So we're very happy to have these guys here. I'll ask Jim to give the presentation and then we'll move over to the other salon room for Q&amp;A afterwards. Thanks so much for being here. ...
