공시 • Jul 07Yum! Brands Reportedly in Talks to Facilitate Devyani, Sapphire MergerYum! Brands, Inc. (NYSE:YUM), the American owner of fast-food restaurant chains KFC and Pizza Hut, is in talks to facilitate a merger of Devyani International Limited (NSEI:DEVYANI) and Sapphire Foods India Limited (NSEI:SAPPHIRE)—its publicly-traded franchisee partners in the country, people aware of the developments said. The negotiations could result in Sapphire Foods getting absorbed by DIL through a share swap deal. This would entail the latter either acquiring the franchisee rights of KFC and Pizza Hut from Sapphire Foods, or all of KFC’s franchisee stores in India getting consolidated under DIL, the people cited above said. One of the persons cited above said a 1:3 share swap ratio is being prepared with Sapphire shareholders getting one share of DIL for every three owned. This plan could not be independently verified. "There are direct synergies for DIL, since it is owned by PepsiCo’s bottling partner Varun Beverages Ltd. (VBL),” a second person said.
