Staples Inc., the Framingham office-supply company, said today that its offer for all outstanding securities of Corporate Express NV has been completed.

Staples earlier this month completed a separate offer for all outstanding shares of the Dutch office supply company Corporate Express NV and its 2 percent convertible bonds. Shareholders and bondholders had until last week to tender their shares and bonds under a post-approval period that ended last week.

Staples shares rose 32 cents to $23.66 during midday trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market. (AP)
