Apax had reportedly been looking to sell the business, which it snapped up in 2005.

However, Apax and Panrico’s creditors have worked on a deal that will see the company’s debts fall from EUR605m (US$758m) to EUR350m, reports in Spain said.

Officials for Panrico could not be reached for immediate comment. Apax declined to make a statement.
