Olam to turn to shareholders for raising capital

Move to replenish capital if it gains majority stake of NZFSU.

Olam International has signalled its intention to turn to shareholders to provide fresh capital for farm development should it gain a majority stake in New Zealand Farming Systems Uruguay (NZFSU).

That could include a pro-rata rights issue.

Its intention to go to shareholders for funding was contained in a letter to the NZFSU board released on Friday.
In the September 1 letter to the NZFSU board, initially kept confidential but made public at the request of the directors, Olam answered questions on how it would meet NZFSU's capital requirements and its view on selling surplus land.

Previously, NZFSU had said it needed $NZ85 million (S$83.41 million) to complete the conversion of its Uruguayan landholdings to New Zealand-style dairy farms.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
