PRESS: Tesco Clubcard Unit Attracting Private Equity Suitors - Sky News

7th Oct 2014 05:45

LONDON (Alliance News) - Private equity group TPG has emerged among a group of potential suitors considering a bid for the marketing group behind Tesco's Clubcard loyalty scheme, Sky News reported Tuesday.

The buyout firm is understood to have made an approach to Tesco PLC over acquiring Dunhumby, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the supermarket group, in a deal that would be worth over GBP2 billion, Sky News said.

Tesco is believed to be considering its ownership of Dunhumby amid a wider review of its business being overseen by new Chief Executive Dave Lewis.
