FRANKFURT, Feb 28 (Reuters) - German clinics operator
Asklepios and the founder of healthcare provider Rhoen Klinikum
RHKG.DE said on Friday that they had bundled their stakes in
Rhoen to almost 50% and were offering to buy the rest of the
shares.
The offer price is 18 euros ($19.56) per share, 25% more
than the share price of 14.40 euros before the announcement.
That values the company at 1.2 billion euros.
Asklepios and the founder, Eugen Muench, are aiming for a
majority of Rhoen shares, they said in a statement.
A spokeswoman for Rhoen Klinikum declined to comment.
