Olam secures $2.4b deal, offloads 44.6% Olam Agri stake to SALIC

SALIC now holds 80.01% of Olam Agri.

Olam Group Limited has completed the sale of a 44.58% stake in Olam Agri Holdings to Saudi Agriculture & Livestock Investment Company (SALIC) for about $2.4b (USD1.88b), it said on 27 April.

The deal implies a 100% equity valuation of $5.11b (USD4.00b), including closing adjustments and dividends.

Following completion, SALIC holds 80.01% of Olam Agri, whilst Olam Group retains a 19.99% associate stake. Olam Agri has ceased to be a subsidiary of Olam Group.

Olam Group said total cash proceeds amounted to $2.4b (USD1.875b), comprising a base consideration of $2.27b (USD1.783b) and additional consideration and adjustments of $118m (USD92.2m).

The remaining 19.99% stake is subject to a put and call option structure, with completion of the second tranche expected within three years. SALIC will fully own Olam Agri upon completion of that tranche.

Olam Group said the transaction is part of its broader reorganisation plan to simplify its structure and unlock value.

Financial advisers to the transaction included Rothschild & Co, Citigroup Global Markets Singapore, and HSBC Singapore.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
