Hong Kong's CK Infrastructure Holdings has dropped out of the bidding race for National Grid's (NGG) Grain liquefied natural gas terminal in the UK, valued at about 2 billion British pounds ($2.69 billion), Bloomberg News reported Tuesday, citing a source familiar with the matter.
CK was in the process of negotiating final terms of a deal, with a potential deal expected in the coming days, the news outlet recently reported. The firm was competing with a group led by Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System, according to the Tuesday report.
National Grid and CK didn't immediately respond to MT Newswires' requests for comments.
