The joint venture that runs the Chinese locations of iconic Canadian coffee shop chain Tim Hortons is nearing a deal to go public through a merger with blank-check company Silver Crest Acquisition Corp., people familiar with the matter said.

A transaction could value the combined entity at about $1.8 billion and an announcement could come as early as this week, the people said, asking not to be identified because the matter is private.
