MADRID (Thomson Financial) - Imperial Tobacco said it has asked Spain's
bourse regulator CNMV to suspend trading in Altadis SA shares from the end of
the market session Feb 11 until the tobacco group is delisted.
In a statement, Imperial said it has called for the share trading suspension
so that the 'squeeze-out' process can be completed successfully.
Imperial has made a 50 eur per share offer for Altadis, for which it said
today it has received 95.81 pct acceptance.
