Greencore holds talks over private equity sale
Greencore, the UK's leading sandwich-maker, has held talks with private equity companies over a potential sale of the group, just months after it failed in an attempt to buy giant rival Northern Foods.
It has sold its 32.47 per cent stake in Energy Developments, equal to 50.86 million shares, at $2.75 a share into the takeover offer by Greenspark Power, which went unconditional on Friday.
