(Reuters) - Adult education provider Navitas Ltd halted trade in its shares on Thursday ahead of an update on takeover talks with its founder and a private equity firm.
Navitas' board had earlier this year backed a $1.5 billion buyout proposal from its founder Rob Jones and private equity company BGH. It had also extended due diligence with the bidders.
