Stryker Announces Additional $500 Million Share Repurchase Program and Declares a 20% Increase in Quarterly Dividend

December 8, 2010 By Bio-Medicine.Org

KALAMAZOO, Mich., Dec. 8, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Stryker
Corporation (NYSE:
SYK
) announced today that its Board of Directors has increased
its dividend by 20% by declaring a quarterly dividend of $0.18
