WhiteWave's Sale To Danone Delayed

The planned sale of Colorado's WhiteWave Foods Co. to European food giant Danone SA has been pushed back at least into next year.

Denver-based WhiteWave (Nasdaq: WWAV) now projects the deal, valued at $12.5 billion including debt, to be completed in the first quarter of 2017 rather than late this year as previously announced.

In a statement, WhiteWave said the merger partners are still awaiting "necessary regulatory approvals."
