Symbion Health, the biggest health care company in Australia, agreed to be broken up and sold to Healthscope and two buyout companies for as much as 3.1 billion Australian dollars ($2.8 billion), reviving a plan blocked by its biggest shareholder a month ago. Healthscope will pay as much as 1.7 billion Australian dollars for Symbion’s 270 medical and diagnostic centers, while Archer Capital and Ironbridge Capital will buy the company’s drug distribution and vitamin business for 1.4 billion Australian dollars, Healthscope said. The deal was blocked this year by Primary Health Care, which had made an earlier bid that was rejected and held a 20 percent stake in Symbion.

Bang & Olufsen, a maker of luxury consumer electronics, said first-quarter profit rose 59 percent on a 6 percent increase in sales. The company said it earned 57.6 million kroner ($11 million) in the three months through August from 36.2 million kroner a year earlier. Sales rose to 926.4 million kroner. Bang & Olufsen, based in Denmark, said a lower tax rate and an increase in the number of Bang & Olufsen stores it operates contributed to the improved results. Wholesale revenue in the United States rose 25 percent, partly as a result of sales of a new television, the BeoVision 7, a 40-inch TV with DVD with a suggested retail price of $13,250.

Voters in Costa Rica, Central America’s second biggest economy, backed a free trade agreement with the United States in a referendum Sunday. With 96.3 percent of the vote counted, 51.6 percent of voters backed the agreement, the independent Supreme Electoral Tribunal said on its Web site. President Óscar Arias, above, the winner of the 1987 Nobel Peace Prize, has staked much of his political agenda on passage of the agreement. A rejection would have been the first time a free trade deal with the United States was refused by any country. Before the voting began, the White House warned that the United States would not renegotiate the accord if it was voted down.
