Chocs away for Russia's first tender offer
Article Abstract:
The proposed acquisition of Russian candy maker Red October by Koloss, a member of the Menatep group, has ended in a compromise. Instead of a formal takeover, Menatep will take two seats on Red October's board and the two companies will undertake joint acquisitions of other chocolate manufacturers. Menatep will spend the $30 million it had earmarked for the acquisition on these joint projects. It is thought that the failed acquisition will lead to new takeover rules in Russia.
