...su distribuciñon europea con Camprofrio segun el Financial Times. Shares in Spanish food producer Campofrio [CPF.MC] were suspended on Wednesday, the stock market regulator said in a statement, following a report that it was in merger talks with U.S. packaged meats company Smithfield Foods. The report on the Financial Times' web edition (www.ft.com) said that Smithfield Foods [SFD.N] planned to merge its main European subsidiary with Campofrio in an all-share deal which would value the new company at around 1 billion euros. Campofrio shares had risen 3.8 percent to 8.70 euros before the suspension, making the company worth 457 million euros. Nobody at Campofrio was immediately available to comment on the suspension, which was imposed while the company prepares a statement. The FT report said that the new company would still be called Campofrio and would be controlled jointly by the Spanish company and Groupe Smithfield -- its Paris-based subsidiary which is controlled by Smithfield and Oaktree Capital Partners. Under the terms of the agreement, Campofrio would issue new shares to Groupe Smithfield, which would roll its assets into the Spanish company, the Financial Times said
