Del Monte Foods Co (DLM.N) said it did not get any superior buyout offers during the "go-shop" period following its agreement to sell itself to a group led by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co (KKR.N). In November, the maker of Meow Mix cat food, Milk-Bone dog biscuits and canned vegetables, agreed to be bought by the KKR-led consortium in a deal worth $4 billion, excluding debt. Del Monte expects to close the deal, which comes amid a flurry of private equity transactions, by the end of March.
