Benchmark Holdings confirms it's considering an acquisition

Benchmark Holdings confirmed that is considering a potential acquisition of INVE Aquaculture Holding BV, which would constitute a reverse takeover under AIM rules.

As a result, trading in the company's shares has been suspended until such time as an admission document is published in relation to the potential acquisition or the talks otherwise conclude.

Benchmark, which provides technical services, products and specialist knowledge to the food and farming industries, said it will update shareholders with further information in due course.
