IHH Healthcare Seeks $1.3 Billion in Fortis Acquisition Dispute
A healthcare company called IHH is in a legal fight with Daiichi Sankyo.
IHH wants $1.3 billion because they say Daiichi Sankyo caused problems when they tried to buy more shares of Fortis Healthcare.
IHH bought some shares in 2018, but then things got complicated because of a court order.
IHH believes Daiichi Sankyo's actions stopped them from buying more shares, causing them to lose money.
They had a big deposit frozen and missed out on making money from the rising value of Fortis shares.
The case is now in court, where they are seeking a large sum of money to cover their losses.
IHH Healthcare is seeking $1.3 billion in compensation from Daiichi Sankyo over the Fortis Healthcare acquisition dispute.
The revised claim, a tenfold increase from the original $138 million, was filed in Tokyo District Court.
IHH alleges Daiichi Sankyo hindered its attempts to acquire additional stakes in Fortis and its subsidiary.
The dispute originates from a 2018 purchase and subsequent Supreme Court interim order.
IHH claims frozen deposit of $416 million and further losses due to inability to proceed with open offers.
