THE WHAT? Walgreens may be set to lose billions in the sale of Boots as previous suitors CVC and Bailn suggest a valuation of £4 billion, a huge drop from the £7 billion price tag it was hoping to command.
THE DETAILS Having purchased Boots for £9 billion in 2014, Walgreens is now looking for £7 billion after divesting the wholesale arm.
THE WHY? The Telegraph newspaper stated that with CVC’s UK head Dominic Murphy being a Walgreens board member with more than a decade of experience working with Boots, he ‘knows where the bodies are buried.”
Those lined up to make an offer on Boots include Asda-owners Zuber and Mohsin Issa, Apollo Global Management and Sycamore Capital.
