Walgreens halts sale of Boots chain citing tougher financial conditions
Walgreens Boots Alliance has abandoned the sale process for the Boots chain in the UK after the upheaval in credit markets resulted in bids that were below its initial expectations. The US group said on Tuesday that while there had been “significant interest” in the 173-year-old business, “unexpected and dramatic change” in the financial markets meant that no offers had been received that reflected the potential value of Boots and its No.7 beauty brand. Goldman Sachs was engaged to review options for the business as Walgreens’ new chief executive, Roz Brewer, opted to focus on health and wellness in its home market.
