Samuel Dyer Coriat, chairman of Copeinca, expects Cermaq to present a new solution to finance the purchase of Copeinca within a few days, he told TDN Finans Tuesday.

Dyer Coriat owns 27.2 percent of the Peruvian fishmeal and fish oil producer through his holding company as of May 13.

"We still have an agreement with Cermaq, and expect that they come up with another proposal now that the issue was voted down," Coriat said.

"That's at least what they have said previously."

When asked what he thinks about China Fishery Group's bid, Dyer Coriat said it is positive that the company is interested in Copeinca, but that Copeinca now must wait and see what Cermaq will do before it relates to other bidders.
