Warburg Pincus Enters Talks for Minority Stake in France’s Sebia

Warburg Pincus is in talks to buy a large minority stake in French diagnostics provider Sebia, adding to a string of recent deals in the health-care sector.

The investment firm has entered into exclusive negotiations for the potential acquisition, according to a statement that confirmed an earlier Bloomberg report.

Warburg is in advanced talks to take a stake of more than 30% Sebia, and a deal could value the company at about €5.5 billion ($6.4 billion), Bloomberg reported last week, citing people familiar with the matter.
