Is Thomas Cook about to get a new owner?

Is Thomas Cook about to get a new owner? The high-profile UK-based holidays group, a fixture of Egypt’s tourism industry since the late 1800s, could soon have new owners. With its share price down about 80% in the past year, Thomas Cook is shopping itself to investors that include private equity outfits KKR and EQT as well as “acquisitive Chinese group Fosun International,” the Financial Times reports. The FT was picking up on a Sky News story that says the prospective buyers are each interested in the group as a whole or part thereof.
