Firm backed by Italy's Gruppo San Donato could make offer for NMC - Reuters:

GKSD Investment Holding confirmed on Tuesday that it could make an offer to buy NMC Health (NMC.L), a day after the London-listed healthcare group revealed approaches from two private equity groups.

GKSD, an investment vehicle backed by sponsors of Italy’s private hospital chain Gruppo San Donato (GSD), said it was in the preliminary stages of considering an offer for NMC.

GKSD is being advised by GK Investment, which made the approach to NMC on its behalf, the firm said. Rothschild & Co and Goldman Sachs are also acting as advisers.

GSD, founded here in 1957, operates research hospitals, general hospitals and clinics in 44 locations across Italy and calls itself the country's largest private hospital group.
