It is the first time the firm has spoken out about a change in ownership since reports began circulating about its possible sale.
Last month, Saudi Arabia’s Savola Group had said it had held initial talks with one of Americana’s shareholders regarding the firm’s takeover. Americana, however, said it had “no knowledge” of any such dealings.
