Thu, 15th Apr 2021 17:51
(Alliance News) - Kerry Group PLC on Thursday announced talks with Kerry Co-Operative Creameries Ltd, its dairy-related business in Ireland and the UK, have been suspended.
Kerry Group in February announced it is conducting a strategic review of dairy-related businesses in the UK and Ireland, saying that the review may have led to a transaction in the coming months.
The Ireland-based food company confirms that discussions with Kerry Co-Operative Creameries around the potential transaction have been suspended. While the strategic review continues, there is no certainty that this will lead to a transaction and a further update on the strategic review process will be communicated later this year, Kerry Group said.

It could pursue a sale or spinoff of part or all of the business next year if it decides to proceed, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private.
