SAO PAULO (Reuters) – Investor Nelson Tanure reached a preliminary agreement with controlling shareholders Alliar to take control of the medical diagnostics company, a source familiar with the matter said on Thursday.
Tanure has proposed paying 20.50 reais a share, this person added, more than 65% above the share’s closing price on Wednesday.
The controllers of Alliar and Tanure are expected to close the deal in the next few days, the source said.
The company’s shares soared earlier after columnist Lauro Jardim, from O Globo, reported on the deal.
Tanure had already offered 19 reais per share to take control of Alliar, but the proposal was rejected by controllers at the end of October.
Around 12:30 pm, the shares jumped 10.18%, to 13.64 reais. At the most, they reached 15.38 reais, an increase of 24.23%.
Alliar and the investor did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Reuters.
In October, the company said that funds linked to Tanure achieved a 27.3% share. In addition to the investor, Rede D’Or and Fleury had shown interest in the company.
The source did not reveal Tanure’s stake in the company after the deal was completed.
