Market Chatter: Qiagen Attracts Early Takeover Interest From EQT, Advent, KKR

MT Newswires Live07-09

Qiagen (QGEN) is attracting early takeover interest from private equity firms including EQT (EQT), Advent and KKR (KKR), with some potential bidders considering offers of at least $50 per share, Bloomberg reported Thursday, citing people familiar with the situation.

Qiagen, which has been conducting a strategic review with advisers, could also draw interest from additional buyout firms and strategic acquirers. Deliberations are ongoing and there is no certainty they will result in a transaction, according to the report.

Qiagen shares rose as much as 14% in US trading before trimming gains to trade up about 11%, valuing the company at roughly $8.7 billion, the report said.

Qiagen, EQT, Advent and KKR did not immediately respond to requests for comment from MT Newswires.
