Bristol-Myers Squibb CEO Giovanni Caforio told CNBC on Friday the company is"one step closer to creating that great company" after shareholders greenlit a $74 billion takeover of Celgene.
"When the two companies come together, we'll have two growing businesses," Caforio said in an interview with "Mad Money's" Jim Cramer."We're going to be able to launch six new medicines, potentially, in the next two years. It's going to be a great company, [will] create value for shareholders, [and will be] very good for patients."
Celgene is also a leader, he added, in treatments for multiple myeloma, a cancer that attacks the plasma cells that create antibodies to fight infections.
