A consortium of private equity firms, Advent International and General Atlantic, is said to be in talks with Everstone Capital.
Earlier, it was speculated that Jubilant Foodworks, which operates Domino’s in India, was also interested in the deal.
However, a late-night regulatory filing by Jubilant Foodworks denied the reports from a few local business publications.
Based on the 18 May 203 closing price of Rs122.40 a share, Everstone’s investment of 40.9% in Restaurant Brands Asia is worth close to Rs25bn (more than $300m).
