Greencore to delist from ISEQ with Uniq takeover

ONE-IN-THREE prepared sandwiches sold in Britain will come from Irish food company Greencore, following its takeover of British firm Uniq.

As part of the deal, Greencore is to delist from the Irish Stock Exchange (ISEQ) sometime next year, but it said it hopes to return again at some stage.

Shareholders voted in favour of the firm’s acquisition of Uniq yesterday at an EGM in Dublin, a move that will increase Greencore’s share of the British sandwich market from 25% to 31%.
