In a statement reported by Reuters, the brewer said: “There has been no concrete approach that would have been to the benefit of the company, shareholders or employees.”
A report in Focus magazine last week claimed that Carlsberg and Bitburger Brauerei were planning a joint takeover of Holsten. The magazine said that a bid of over €550m (US$658.8m) had been received by Holsten’s largest shareholder, Christian Eisenbeiss.
Shares in the brewer fell by 12% as investors dumped their stock following the announcement.
