German health-care products and services company Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA is set to withdraw from the bidding for the medical nutrition business of French dairy-products group Danone SA, two people familiar with the matter said.
There is a 98% likelihood the deal won't materialize, said one person close to the matter. Fresenius is highly frustrated with the way the negotiations have taken place, this person said.
A Fresenius spokesman declined comment.
As previously reported, Fresenius and European buyout firm Permira have made a joint bid for the business, according to people familiar with the matter, as the French group pushes to advance a sale that has run into several road bumps.
The bid was submitted earlier in November, the people said. The medical unit could have a value of 3 billion euros ($3.75 billion) to 4.5 billion euros, according to analyst estimates.
Danone has been in talks with potential buyers since March to sell its medical-nutrition business, which makes food for the sick, young and elderly, but efforts to complete a sale have been complicated by disagreements over price and potential antitrust issues.
