Enterprise hardware supplier Procurri had asked for a trading halt of its shares at 8.03am and lifted it at 12.24am after the announcement.

Procurri did not state the reasons New State gave for the withdrawal of the letter of intent (LOI).

New State, a US private investment firm, had on Feb 3 proposed to acquire all the shares of Procurri -- excluding treasury shares and those held by substantial shareholder Irrucorp -- via a scheme of arrangement.

Irrucorp, in which Procurri chairman and global CEO Sean Murphy, and executive director and global president Edward Flachbarth are deemed to have interests, owns about 12.03% of the company as at March 16, 2018, according to Procurri's 2017 annual report.
