Yoplait was set to meet this week to discuss bids made for the 50-percent stake that private equity firm PAI Partners holds in the yogurt-maker, a source close to the matter said on Sunday. Unlisted Yoplait, the world's second-biggest yogurt company after Danone (DANO.PA), is half owned by PAI Partners and farming cooperative Sodiaal. PAI hired banks in September to find buyers for its stake. "Yoplait's board will meet on Feb. 11 to look at the offers. A short-list of several candidates will be drawn up by the end of February," the source told Reuters.
