Premier Foods plc (the "Company")
On 13 November 2018, Premier Foods announced that it was engaged in discussions with third parties regarding the potential disposal of its Ambrosia brand. A number of parties expressed interest in the business, and since the New Year the Company has been engaged in detailed discussions with a small group of potential buyers.
The Board has concluded that in the present business climate the process will not result in a satisfactory financial outcome. As a result, these discussions have now concluded.
