Guidetti’s comment came after Singapore billionaire Philip Ng upped his stake in Vitasoy to 12.26% from 11.87%, raising speculation over potential takeover efforts.
Vitasoy International Holdings is “open” to potential business collaboration opportunities, CEO Roberto Guidetti said, as the beverage-maker’s shares jumped the most on record after a Singapore tycoon raised his stake in the firm.
“We are not initiating or pro-actively seeking collaboration opportunities, but of course, always open to evaluate collaboration opportunities that exist,” Guidetti said Wednesday in an interview with Bloomberg TV. “The fact that there is interest in the company is a good thing. Recognition that there is potential in the company going forward is a good thing.”
