Following reports of a leveraged buyout of Hasbro to take the company private, the toy maker disclosed that it had been approached by a private-equity firm, but no further talks would be pursued.

Hasbro released in a statement Thursday, "that it is not having any discussions regarding the sale of the company."

Prior to Hasbro's announcement, The Wall Street Journal had reported that if a buyout were to occur, it would have marked the year's largest private-equity deal. Hasbro has a market value of approximately $6 billion. WSJ also named Providence Equity Partners as the firm involved.
