Mieszko revealed earlier today [Tuesday] that the bid had been unsatisfactory, and stressed that its PZl7m (US$1.7m) profit and PZl130m-140m sales forecast remained for the current year.


Elite and Mieszko had signed a letter of intent to the effect that the Israel firm would purchase a majority stake in the listed Polish confectioner in October.


Mieszko has also held potential merger talks with another listed sweets marker, Jutrzenka, but a deal was called off.
