The sources say that CapVest, based in London, is finalizing the deal terms with Stada's owners, Bain Capital and Cinven.

Earlier, talks stopped because the parties couldn't agree on the value of Stada, how the deal would be structured, and how to handle some legal matters.

 CapVest came back to the table after Bain Capital and Cinven started preparing Stada for an IPO again.

Stada makes and sells a variety of products, including healthcare items, generic drugs, and specialty medicines for treating rare and long-term illnesses.

 Bain Capital and Cinven bought the company in 2017 for €5.3 billion.
