“Given the board’s unanimous view on the strong underlying value of Greencore and the current dislocation in global equity and debt capital markets, both parties have agreed to end discussions,” Greencore said.
“Accordingly, the board can confirm that the company is no longer engaged in any discussions regarding a potential offer for the company.”
