BERLIN (Reuters) - German dialysis specialist Fresenius Medical Care <FMEG.DE> is selling its majority shareholding in Sound Inpatient Physicians Holdings for $2.15 billion euros, it said on Saturday.
The deal, expected to close in late 2018, will bring a pretax book gain of about 800 million euros ($983 million) for the German company.
Sound Inpatient is being bought by an investment consortium led by private equity firm Summit Partners.
