It came days after the EFSA approved private-equity firm Pioneers’ latest bid of EGP64.30 per share. 

In January, Al Nour asked for its bid to be increased from EGP58 per share to EGP60.5 which was approved by EFSA. Its request followed a bid from Pioneers Holding of EGP59.20.

Lactalis took control of Al Nour for Dairy Industries in 2005. The French giant made an offer for Arab Dairy through Lactalis International, worth EGP66 per share, in November.
