May 29 (Reuters) - Kuwait's stock market on Sunday suspended trading in the shares of Kuwait Food Co FOOD.KW (Americana) pending a statement from the company.

Trading on the Kuwaiti bourse opens at 0600 GMT.

The statement from the exchange did not provide further details.

Americana's major shareholder, Kuwait's billionaire al-Kharafi family, on Feb. 4 said it had signed an initial agreement to sell their holding to Adeptio Group subject to due diligence and approvals from Americana's board and regulatory authorities. urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nD5N16W029
