Cefarm withdraws from tender for EuroApteka

In the beginning of May, state-owned Cefarm was almost sure to win the tender, and was the only participant who openly declared that it was taking part in the tender and that they should be able to finalize the transaction by July. However, the condition to move on to the second round was confirmation of such a desire only until May 5. Unexpectedly, the deputy Treasury Minister Maciej Heydel dismissed the management board of the company, including Cefarm's president Jerzy Barański. Due to a lack of management, the confirmation was not submitted, and Cefarm fell out from the potential lucrative acquisition.  (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 6) A.K.
