Volex said Thursday that it would no longer pursue the acquisition of components manufacturer TT Electronics.
TT Electronics last month rejected the power and data-cabling company's latest bid of 248.6 million pounds ($317 million).
Volex had made two proposals, one implying a price of 129.0 pence for each TT Electronics share, and a second one offering 135.5 pence a share.
"It is now clear that the board of TT Electronics is not willing to recommend an offer at a valuation that is also acceptable to Volex," Volex Executive Chairman Nat Rothschild said.
Volex is still confident in its ability to meet full-year expectations and remains focused on delivering its five-year plan, he added.
London-listed TT Electronics shares traded 12% lower at 105 pence in afternoon trade.
