The family owners of Pastas Gallo had struck a deal with ProA Capital this summer. Financial terms were not disclosed.
At the time, Spanish business publication Expansión said ProA Capital had seen off interest from two other private-equity firms, TowerBrook Capital Partners and Ventura Equity Partners, as well as another Spanish manufacturer Idilia Foods.
The newspaper also reported ProA Capital would pay EUR200m (US$219m) for Pastas Gallo. Another Spanish newspaper, La Vanguardia, reported the private-equity firm would pay EUR227m.
just-food approached Pastas Gallo representatives and ProA Capital for comment on numerous occasions when the deal was announced but received no comment.
