Trading in the shares of Freeplay Energy was halted after the company announced it had agreed to buy Barrett Marketing in a reverse takeover. The sustainable energy company did not reveal the financial details of the purchase, but said that its completion was dependent on gaining adequate funding. The deal would make for an excellent fit. Barrett's wholly owned subsidiary, Dixie Sales, is an established sales, marketing, distribution and customer service based operation, that already provides services for all of Freeplay's products in North America. Shares were suspended at the open of play, and were thus untraded and unchanged at Wednesday's close of 31p.
