Air Liquide is pursuing the development of its activities in the home healthcare sector and announces the beginning of exclusive negotiations with a view to acquiring 70.49% of LVL Médical Groupe SA’s (LVL Médical) share capital from the controlling shareholders at a price of €30.89 per share.
This transaction, once finalised, would enable Air Liquide to gain control of LVL Médical’s French activities, for an enterprise value of €316million.
