Announcement of Cessation of Talks
On 5 June 2000, Severn Trent announced that it was in ongoing talks with Waste
Management Inc. to acquire WM Sellbergs (Sweden). This announcement also
stated there were a number of significant issues to be resolved. Following
recent exploratory discussions Severn Trent has concluded that, at this stage,
it is not possible to resolve those issues to its satisfaction and has,
accordingly, ceased talks with Waste Management Inc.
The Company will continue to look for opportunities in the waste industry that
will enhance shareholder value.
