Takeover Offer Details
Ambea AB announced a recommended takeover bid for Swedish care provider Humana AB, valuing the target at approximately 2.96 billion Swedish crowns, equivalent to $304 million. The consideration consists of SEK 20 in cash and 0.305 Ambea shares for each Humana share, which together value Humana at SEK 62.30 per share. This represents a premium of nearly 27 % compared with Humana’s closing price on 26 June.
