Alliance Boots, the British pharmacy chain, rejected a Â£9.7 billion ($18.7 billion) takeover proposal from the private equity group Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Company. Alliance Boots said that the 1,000 pence ($19.32) a share offer from Kohlberg Kravis and its largest shareholder, the Italian billionaire Stefano Pessina, undervalued the business and its prospects. The companyâs board held an emergency meeting to discuss the friendly bid, made after the London Stock Exchange closed on Friday. Alliance Boots, formed after Alliance UniChem and the Boots Group merged last year, said the board did not believe that the offer âreflects the fundamental value of the company or the attractive prospects, opportunities and synergies available to Alliance Boots following the very recent completion of its merger.â Alliance Boots has retail operations in six European countries and in Thailand. It is also a pharmaceutical wholesaler in Europe for more than 125,000 pharmacies, hospitals and health centers.
