German conglomerate Thyssenkrupp said on Wednesday it had ended talks to sell its steel division to Britain’s Liberty Steel, citing differences over value and structure in a potential deal.

“We regret this step because we perceived Liberty Steel as a serious partner in the process,” Thyssenkrupp Chief Financial Officer Klaus Keysberg said in a statement according to Nasdaq.com.

“Now it is important for us to ensure the future viability of our steel business on our own. We are working flat out on this, as we have always underlined in the past few weeks and months.”
