The offer price is expected to amount to EUR 81.83 per STADA share. The total offer is expected to amount to approximately EUR 1.8 bn.On 1 October 2018, Nidda Healthcare GmbH, Bain Capital and Cinven's acquisition vehicle, announced its intention to publish a delisting purchase offer. Moreover, STADA's Executive Board was instructed to apply to revoke the admission of all shares and bonds for trading. The delisting from the stock exchange shall cut the costs associated with the stock exchange listing for STADA and reduce the regulatory effort.

In addition, this year, Freshfields advised STADA on the refinancing and change of the terms of the bonds issued by STADA.
