Brazilian hospital chain Rede D’or announced a tender offer to take over medical labs chain Alliar for up to $259.14m, as it expands its businesses to new healthcare sectors.

Rede D’or, which is backed by private equity firm Carlyle, is offering $2.19 per Alliar share, a 21.8% premium over Friday’s closing price, according to a securities filing.
