A MG spokesman said “all MG’s operating assets were included in the proposed sale to Saputo unless MG has sold MG Trading prior to completion.”
“MG does not currently have any formal sale process underway in relation to MG Trading. Upon completion, if MG Trading is not sold, Saputo will purchase the MG Trading stores,” the spokesman said.
He said responses by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission and the Foreign Investment Review Board to Saputo’s bid would help decide when a shareholder meeting on the bid would be held.
