Diamond's Pringles deal ended; Kellogg steps in

NEW YORK (AP) - February 15, 2012

Diamond Foods, which makes Emerald Nuts and Pop Secret popcorn, and Procter & Gamble said Wednesday that they mutually agreed to end their proposed deal.

The news comes a week after Diamond Foods said it was replacing its CEO and CFO after an internal investigation found that the company improperly accounted for payments to walnut growers and it needs to restate two years of financial results.

No breakup or other fees will be paid related to the deal's termination.

Kellogg says it expects to complete the Pringles acquisition during the summer.
