Oatly Group's (OTLY) executives overseeing its Chinese operations are considering a buyout of the business, Bloomberg reported Tuesday, citing people familiar with the situation.

The potential buyers are working toward a deal for Oatly's Greater China operations as soon as this year. Deliberations are ongoing and may not result in a transaction.

Oatly began a strategic review of its Greater China business last year, with options including a potential carve-out, and expects to complete the review this year, according to the report.

Oatly did not immediately respond to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
