UPDATE 1-Brazil tycoon Tanure takes control of Alliar -report
(Adds details, share reaction)
SAO PAULO, Nov 18 (Reuters) - Brazilian investor Nelson Tanure has reached a deal to take over medical diagnostics company Alliar, O Globo columnist Lauro Jardim reported on Thursday, sending its shares higher.
The O Globo report said Alliar’s controlling shareholders had accepted Tanure’s offer of 20.50 reais ($3.69) per share.
Tanure had previously offered 19 reais per share to take over control of Centro de Imagem Diagnosticos SA, as the company is formally known, but the proposal was rejected by controlling shareholders in late October.
Shares in Alliar soared on the report, which led its trading to be briefly halted in early morning in Sao Paulo. After a share auction process, the stock resumed trading up about 15% at 14.29 reais.
Alliar and Tanure did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.
Tanure disclosed an initial investment of 26% in Alliar in August, when Rede D’Or was in talks with the company’s shareholder to take it over.
