News Services
A newspaper report saying the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan is looking to sell its stake in Maple Leaf Foods sent shares in the company down nearly 3% on Tuesday.
The 35.3% stake, worth about $429 million US, is the pension fund's largest single holding of a listed company in Canada, the Globe and Mail reported.
Teachers' plan to sell its stake will likely overhang Maple Leaf shares until it finds a buyer, said analyst Bob Gibson of Octagon Capital Corp.
