Noble shareholders green-light US$750m Agri stake sale

It was approved by 90% of the vote.

Noble Group’s shareholders have approved the company’s proposal to sell its remaining 49% stake in Noble Agri for US$750 million.

At a Special General Meeting (SGM) held Thursday, Noble said that the plan was approved by 90% of the vote.

Noble’s stake will be sold to Viva Trade Investments, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Chinese state-owned enterprise (SOE) COFCO Corporation.

The deal was first revealed in December and is expected to be completed by the end of February.

Upon completion, the transaction will generate USD750 million in cash and remove the group's contingent debt guarantee related to Noble Agri.

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.
