Six minority shareholders are reportedly opposing the transaction amid concerns over the valuation of the Milan-listed pharmaceutical group and the governance of the deal. Independent directors of Recordati deemed the private equity firm's offer "not fair," noting undervaluation of the company and "a relevant degree of pressure to tender" for certain shareholders, the report added. CVC and Recordati did not immediately respond to requests for comments from MT Newswires. (Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.
