Bids roll in for Synlait’s Dairyworks; debt levels spark concern
Things are moo-ving slowly at Synlait’s Dairyworks. Street Talk understands bids for the cheese manufacturer, put up for sale by Jarden New Zealand, were due last week.
Sources said private equity shops Adamantem Capital, Allegro Funds, Anchorage Capital Partners and CPE Capital put in offers. However, the indicative bids failed to meet the vendor’s price expectations.
