The FTSE 250 firm’s admission followed press speculation regarding the potential acquisition of Hawthorn.
It said a transaction, if completed, would be funded from NewRiver's existing resources.
“There can be no certainty that a transaction will be concluded and a further announcement, as appropriate, will be made as soon as practicable,” the board said.
