The shareholders of Gland Pharma Ltd, including buyout firm KKR and Co., are now considering selling up to 74% under the automatic approval route to China’s Fosun International, says a Mint report citing two people aware of the development.
Both sides have extended the exclusivity period to conclude the deal to September-end, the report adds.
The development comes after Gland Pharma failed to secure government approval for an 86% stake sale. In July 2016, Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical Ltd had struck a deal to buy 86% in Gland Pharma Ltd for $1.26 billion.

The transaction has been awaiting the Cabinet Committee of Economic Affairs' (CCEA) approval since April. The CCEA, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, clears all high-value foreign direct investment transactions.
