An announcement from Tate & Lyle ( (GB:TATE) ) is now available.

Tate & Lyle has confirmed that U.S.-based Ingredion Incorporated has submitted a conditional proposal for a possible cash offer for the entire issued and to be issued share capital of the company. The approach, which follows a series of earlier contacts, would provide shareholders with value of up to 615 pence per share, comprising 595 pence in cash plus the right to receive specified final and interim dividends, subject to normal approvals.

Discussions are ongoing between Tate & Lyle’s board and Ingredion, but there is no certainty that a firm offer will be made or on what final terms, with a regulatory deadline of 5:00 p.m. on 11 June 2026 for Ingredion to either announce a firm intention to bid or walk away. The situation places Tate & Lyle formally in an offer period under UK takeover rules, heightening disclosure requirements for significant shareholders and deal participants and potentially affecting market positioning and expectations for investors.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:TATE) stock is a Hold with a £375.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Tate & Lyle stock, see the GB:TATE Stock Forecast page.
