加拿大韦斯顿家族旗下的威灵顿投资公司宣布以89亿美元（67.4亿英镑）收购英国药妆零售商Boots，并获得加拿大投资公司Fairfax的支持1。此次交易将为韦斯顿家族带来Boots在英国和爱尔兰的1800家门店、5万名员工以及No7美妆品牌等资产1。交易预计将在2027年第一季度完成1。
Galen Weston担任威灵顿投资公司主席，可能将成为Boots主席1。此前2022年沃尔格林曾计划以不超过100亿英镑的价格出售Boots，但因潜在买家融资困难而最终搁置1。2024年Boots的上市计划也被放弃，当时的估值约为70亿英镑1。
Canada's Weston family, through its Wellington Investment company and backed by Canadian investment firm Fairfax, has agreed to purchase the British health and beauty retailer Boots for $8.9 billion, equivalent to £6.74 billion 1. The acquisition will give the Weston family control of approximately 1,800 stores across the United Kingdom and Ireland, along with a workforce of 50,000 employees and the No7 cosmetics brand 1. The transaction is expected to complete in the first quarter of 2027 1.
Galen Weston, chair of Wellington Investment, is set to become chair of Boots following the takeover 1. The retailer was previously privatized in 2007 by Stefano Pessina in partnership with KKR 1. In 2022, owner Walgreens initiated a sale process with a price tag not exceeding £10 billion, though the deal stalled due to financing difficulties faced by potential buyers 1. More recently, Boots abandoned a planned listing in 2024 when valued at approximately £7 billion 1.
