IHH Healthcare, Asia’s largest private healthcare group, confirmed the conditional, non-binding proposal in a separate statement, saying the talks were in preliminary stages and that there was no certainty the deal would materialize.
Ramsay and Sime Darby have agreed to a period of exclusivity for four weeks to allow Malaysia’s IHH to conduct due diligence and negotiate a sale and purchase agreement, Ramsay said. Shares of Ramsay Health Care rose as much as 2.6 per cent, while those of IHH Healthcare inched higher.
