I can see a few reasons (at least) why they didn’t proceed:
1. Didn't see the value or synergy they’d anticipated and/or saw a number of issues in DD of CABP wrt this so decided to withdraw.
2. CABP made it clear that there was no way they were going to accept 145p and so they withdrew.
3. Just didn’t like what they saw in a number of area; contracts, mgmt, potential, etc and withdrew accordingly.
Of course as a LTH myself, I hope it’s 2. but if so, surely CABP could have issued a statement to this effect after they withdrew rather than leave the market thinking it was 1.?
So to keep sane/deluded I will say it was 2. but the mgmt didn't see fit to make a statement.
