Tate & Lyle: Sale of United Molasses withdrawn

| Filed in:
Tate & Lyle PLC announces that despite expressions of interest from a number of parties and several weeks of detailed negotiations, the sale process has not produced an offer for its world-wide molasses and storage business ("UM") that reflects its contribution to the Group. UM continues to trade profitably and management will examine other opportunities to maximise returns from the business which may include partial disposals, together with the retention of some elements of the business.
