Israeli food importer G. Willi-Food International has started a tender offer to buy all the issued and outstanding share capital of Gold Frost not already held by the company.
The share capital will be bought for a price of 7 pence per share or per depositary interest in cash, the company said on Monday (22 June).
Gold Frost was admitted to the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange in March 2006.
On 28 May 2008, following a resolution of the shareholders of Gold Frost, the AIM admission was cancelled.
Transactions in Gold Frost shares and depositary interests are not subject to the provisions of the UK Takeover Code and therefore protections provided to shareholders are not available to holders of Gold Frost shares and depositary interests.
