Spanish drugmaker Grifols SA, the target of a short-seller attack earlier in the year, is seeking to hire an external consultancy firm to help deal with minority investors as it faces a takeover approach.
Grifols’s board has asked several Spanish firms to draft proposals, according to people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be named discussing private matters. The firm would be responsible for outreach to shareholders and managing certain communications, the people said.
