PAI Partners in final talks with China's JIC to buy SGD Pharma
LONDON, June 16 (Reuters) - PAI Partners is in final talks with China Jianyin Investment (JIC) to buy its French supplier of COVID-19 vaccine vials SGD Pharma after winning an auction earlier this year, the private equity firm said on Wednesday.
PAI has made a binding offer to JIC and the proposed transaction will need to receive the green light from SGD's employee representative bodies as well as antitrust regulators.
