## Resource

Tate & Lyle, the iconic British food ingredients giant, is being acquired by American firm Ingredion for £2.7 billion — a 64% premium over its pre-offer price — marking the company’s exit from the London stock market and adding to a troubling trend of UK firms being bought by foreign investors. Once a sugar dynasty since 1921, Tate & Lyle recently battled profit warnings and a 10% revenue drop, even selling off its beloved Lyle’s Golden Syrup in 2011. Ingredion’s CEO touts the merger as a strategic leap toward healthier, affordable food, while Tate & Lyle shares surged 12% amid investor optimism. This deal follows a wave of UK exits — including William Hill’s Greek buyer — fueling fears that Britain’s prized companies are being undervalued and stripped away too cheaply in today’s global economy.
