China’s Anta Sports has offered to buy 29% of struggling German sportswear company Puma (PUMSY) from France’s Pinault family, three people with knowledge of the talks said, Reuters’ Kane Wu and Amy-Jo Crowley report. Anta made the offer a few weeks ago and has secured financing for the acquisition should a deal go ahead, said two of the sources. However, the situation had stalled, one added. Artemis had been expecting any offer for its Puma stake to exceed EUR 40 a share, a fourth person with knowledge of the matter told Reuters.
