approached by a number of other parties, page-8

This is what I read in the Fin Reviw today

..."SAI is believed to have received approaches from rivals to PEP interested in supercharging the whole of the business, which has struggled to lift profits and fully integrate up to 40 acquisitions. Interest has also come from global competitors to SAI who might want parts of the operations if it is broken up".

...

"Industry speculation on Monday centred around rival private equity firms looking to potentially acquirte the whole of SAI and then pull out costs and bring centralised systems to the group".

Other talk about global rivals such as Bureau Veritas, SGC, Intertek and Eutofins could be interested in buying parts of theh SAI business if there is a break up of operations.
