The National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) on Monday suspended trading in NH Hotel Group SA shares pending further information, while its Thailand-based parent company offered to buy shares in the company on the market.

The regulator said it adopted the measure "as a precautionary measure", "while relevant information on the aforementioned entity is disseminated".

Minor International, which already owns a 94% stake in NH, said in a separate statement issued after the CNMV's announcement that it would buy outstanding shares on the Madrid stock exchange for a period of 30 days at a price of no more than 4.50 euros ($4.97) per share.

Earlier Monday, NH, which is a unit of Thailand's Minor International , said its first-quarter recurring net loss had halved to 40 million euros ($44.2 million) from a year ago and that it expects demand to remain high in the coming months.

The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Its shares were up about 1% at €3.625 on Friday.

($1 = 0.9051 euros)
