Overview
Sigma Healthcare, owner of Australia’s biggest pharmacy chain Chemist Warehouse, is ambitiously pursuing a transformational $14 billion deal to acquire the United Kingdom’s health and beauty retailer Boots, in a move that has divided investors and analysts.
Sigma shares fell 5.5 per cent to $2.76 after the talks between it and Boots were revealed, even though Sigma warned in a statement that there was “no certainty” any deal would be completed.
