Zeiss could buy a majority stake of Leica shares

Reuters reports that Blackstone plans to sell their 45% Leica shares. And Zeiss seems to be interested to buy those shares. But Zeiss real goal is to become a majority shareholders and that means they would like to buy a part (or all) the shares from the Kaufman family.

If the deal goes through this could have an impact on the Panasonic and Leica partnership too.
