KKR puts terse end to NMC takeover speculation

Private equity group says it has not made a proposal, nor discussed terms with NMC

The roller-coaster ride of NMC Health continued on Tuesday after a private equity group tersely dismissed takeover speculation.

NMC fell 16% — one day after a 32% surge, and two sessions after a 22% collapse — as Kohlberg Kravis Roberts said it had not made a proposal to buy the Middle Eastern hospital operator and that it doesn’t intend to make one.
