Muddy Waters target NMC attracts interest from private equity bidders

FTSE 100-listed NMC has lost more than 70% of its value since late December, when Carson Block’s Muddy Waters launched its attack

NMC Health’s shares spiked almost 12% after the troubled healthcare operator said it had received potential takeover bids from KKR and GK Investment in a deal which could be valued at £2bn.

The healthcare group, which operates in the Middle East, said the approaches were “highly preliminary” and that there have been no discussions about the terms of any possible offers from either the US buyout group or the Switzerland-based investment group.
