Report: Onex considering sale of Carestream Health

Onex is once again considering selling Carestream Health, according to a new report from Reuters.

The report said Onex is “exploring a breakup of the U.S. medical imaging company,” per sources close to the story, and the deal could value Carestream Health “at more than $3 billion, including debt.”

The authors of the report added that Onex tried to find a buyer for Carestream in 2013, working with Goldman Sachs, Bank of America Corporation, and Credit Suisse. No sale ever happened, however.
