Shares in pathology, imaging and medical centres operator Healius closed 7.8 per cent higher at $2.63 on 3 January, in response to a takeover bid from Jangho Group. The Chinese company already has a 15.93 per cent stake in Healius and is offering $3.25 per share. Healius, which changed its name from Primary Health Care in late 2018, has advised shareholders to take no action regarding the unsolicited offer at present. It has stressed that Jangho’s approach may not necessarily result in a deal.

Australian-listed Primary Health Care hopes to establish more medical imaging centres, following the upcoming launch of its new facility in the Melbourne suburb of Richmond. CEO Peter Gregg says the group expects to recoup its $A35m investment in the facility within two years. He adds that Primary could potentially finance the new imaging centres via asset sales or sale-and-leaseback arrangements.
