Sources told Reuters that Primo’s owners had hired Macquarie Capital to look at an IPO and a sale and approached around ten possible bidders.
However, the process was put on hold, the sources said, as Primo needed to resolve its internal shareholding.
Now, possible buyers are once more looking at the business and first-round bids for 50% of Primo are expected in around three weeks, Reuters added.
