Walgreens has revived plans to sell Boots, with options including a new London listing.
Walgreens Boots Alliance is said to have revived plans to sell off the 1,900-store retailer after it recently agreed to transfer Boots’ £4.8bn pension scheme to Legal & General.
The deal means that Walgreens can hive off Boots, which is expected to be valued at around £7bn. It shelved plans for a sale last year, citing an “unexpected and dramatic change” in market conditions.
