As stated in our Interim Results Announcement on 29 April 2025, Allied Bakeries continues to face a very challenging market. We are evaluating strategic options for Allied Bakeries against this backdrop and we remain committed to increasing long-term shareholder value. A further announcement will be made as and when appropriate.
