Walgreens exits public markets in $10 billion buyout deal
Walgreens Boots Alliance to be taken private by Sycamore Partners in a $10.0 billion transaction priced at $11.45 per share, with potential $3 per share extra if divestitures go well. The move ends a public-era milestone for the Deerfield retailer as Tim Wentworth leads a shift to private ownership. Chicago remains a key hub, with hundreds of local Walgreens workers and more than 100 stores in the city, raising questions about store closures and strategic reorganization under private ownership.
