    This current Report on Form 8-K/A amends Items 2 and 7 of the Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed September 5, 2001, to provide subsequent information relating to the MiniMed Inc. ("MiniMed") and Medical Research Group, Inc. ("MRG") acquisitions and amended financial statements for MRG required by Item 7.

Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

    On August 28, 2001, Medtronic, Inc. (the "Registrant") acquired all of the outstanding stock of MiniMed through a merger of a newly-created subsidiary of the Registrant into MiniMed. Pursuant to the merger, the shareholders of MiniMed received $48 for each of the approximately 64.9 million shares of MiniMed Common Stock outstanding at the time of the merger. In addition, the Registrant assumed an aggregate of approximately 2.7 million outstanding MiniMed stock options, each of which were converted into an option to purchase 1.074 shares of the Registrant's Common Stock.

    In a separate but related transaction, the Registrant acquired all of the outstanding stock of MRG through a merger of a newly-created subsidiary of the Registrant into MRG. Pursuant to the merger, the shareholders of MRG received an aggregate of approximately $397.7 million in cash in exchange for the shares of MRG Common Stock outstanding at the time of the merger.

    The sources of the funds used to complete the acquisitions described above initially included cash on hand and the proceeds of a short term loan to the Registrant from Bank of America, N.A.

    On September 17, 2001, the Registrant completed its private placement of $2.0125 billion principal amount of its 1.25% Contingent Convertible Debentures due September 15, 2021. The Debentures are convertible in certain circumstances, at the holders' option, into shares of the Registrant's common stock initially at a conversion price of $61.81 per share, subject to adjustments under certain circumstances.

    The net proceeds from the issuance of the Debentures were used to repay a substantial portion of the short term loan with Bank of America, N.A. The Debentures have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable securities laws.

    A copy of the press release announcing the closing of this transaction is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K/A.

    MiniMed is the world leader in the design, development, manufacture and marketing of advanced medical systems for the treatment of diabetes. MRG is a private corporation that designs and develops implantable technologies related to pumps and sensors used primarily for the treatment of diabetes.
