Just three remain in the race to acquire Polmos Białystok

The short list of the investors now includes Central European Distribution Corporation, Polmos Lublin, and Sobieski Dystrybucja after Bols withdrew from the negotiations, according to unofficial information. It is thought that by early next week the adviser to the privatization, TDI, will recommend to the State Treasury which companies it should continue negotiating with. The most likely scenario would see two investors being invited for talks to allow the State Treasury to negotiate its best price. The bids submitted by the potential investors will be used as a base for settling price brackets which will be announced tomorrow, as 42% of the spirits producer is to be sold through the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
