Brookfield Asset Management (BAM) is once again in discussions for a potential deal for Grifols (GRFS) with the Grifols family, the company's main shareholder, Bloomberg News reported Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.
In November, the asset management firm walked away from a plan to buy Grifols following months of negotiations, according to the report. Grifols board previously turned down an indicative offer valuing the company at 6.45 billion euros ($6.97 billion), Bloomberg reported.
Brookfield and Grifols did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' requests for comment.
Grifols shares were up 7.3% in recent premarket activity Wednesday, while Brookfield rose 0.2%.
