Starwood Capital Group has put Baccarat S.A. (ENXTPA:BCRA) up for sale and the best offer so far has come from a Chinese group, French daily L'Agefi said on May 19, 2017, citing several sources. Starwood, which is eyeing a valuation for Baccarat of $223.16 million, has commissioned Messier Maris & Associes bank to handle the sale, the paper reported. "A Chinese group has come out on top, with an offer close to the valuation Starwood is hoping for," L'Agefi quoted a source as saying. It did not disclose the identity of the Chinese buyer. Neither Starwood and Baccarat could immediately be reached for comment, Reuters reported.
