Retailer the Warehouse Group has announced it will not proceed with a proposed $590 million takeover by Australian private equity firm Adamantem Capital.

Despite backing from company founder Sir Stephen Tindall, the bid failed to secure the necessary shareholder approval.

A major shareholder is said to have disapproved the terms, thereby denying the required 75% support.

The Warehouse Group, which encompasses brands like The Warehouse, Warehouse Stationery, and Noel Leeming, remains open to future proposals, according to reports.

Tindall and the Tindall Foundation currently hold 48% of the company’s shares, while the James Pascoe Group have a nearly 20% stake.
