(Reuters) - U.S. private equity firm Clayton Dubilier & Rice (CD&R) is exploring the sale of a stake in UK's Motor Fuel Group (MFG) at a valuation of about 7 billion pounds ($8.8 billion), Sky News reported on Saturday.
CD&R is working with advisers to examine options for selling a large minority shareholding in MFG, the report said.
A stake sale of around 25-30% is expected, the report said, adding that the final shape of any deal is yet to be determined.
CD&R would retain a controlling stake in MFG after any stake sale, the report added.
