Tate & Lyle Plc has received a takeover offer from Ingredion Inc., raising the prospect of another famous brand leaving London’s stock market.

US-based Ingredion has made a conditional proposal worth up to 615 pence a share, the British ingredients maker said in a statement Thursday. That represents a 64% premium to Tate & Lyle’s closing price on Wednesday.
