Tottenham鈥檚 board said it had 鈥渞eceived, and unequivocally rejected, separate preliminary expressions of interest in relation to proposals to acquire” ENIC. The second expression of interest, the board said, came from a consortium of investors led by Roger Kennedy and Wing-Fai Ng through Firehawk Holdings Limited.
