The Ministry of Economic Affairs’ Investment Commission on Friday last week approved a NT$9.35 billion (US$304.40 million) buyout of medical equipment maker Microlife Corp (百略) by an affiliate of Morgan Stanley Private Equity Asia.

Microlife in March announced that it had agreed to sell all of its shares to Midas Health Co Ltd at NT$84.74 per share, a 17.85 percent premium over the stock’s 20-day average closing price of NT$71.9.

The company is to be delisted from the local bourse next month, the commission said.

Midas Health is part of a US$1.7 billion closed-end private equity plan under Morgan Stanley.    [FULL  STORY]
