“We were met with a very positive and higher-than-expected demand,” Ulker CEO and president Mehmet Tütüncü said.
Yildiz, which also counts chocolate firm Godiva, Turkish frozen food outfit Kerevitas and cash-and-carry retailer Bizim Toptan among its assets, said it would receive $431m for the share sale.
