LONDON (Reuters) - Sheffield United said on Friday
its main investor, property entrepreneur Kevin McCabe, planned
to take the company private.
McCabe and members of his family already control 75.17
percent of the shares. They now plan to underwrite an equity
fundraising and make a cash offer for the remainder of the
shares in the business, which would be delisted from AIM.
Discussions, however, are at an early stage and no formal
offer for the company has yet been put to the board, Sheffield
United added.
