SADAFCO inks initial deal to buy Poland’s Mlekoma

Saudia Dairy and Foodstuff Company (SADAFCO) said in a bourse statement on Sunday that it had reached a broad agreement on key commercial and legal terms for the acquisition of Poland-based Mlekoma SP.

A preliminary share purchase agreement was signed by both parties, signaling their intent to complete the deal.

The company acquired a 100 percent stake in VISDAL INVESTMENT SP, to be its holding company in Poland.

SADAFCO added it expects to ink a binding deal in at the beginning of the second quarter.

The estimated value of the deal is SAR 120 million and will be finalized upon completion of the due diligence process.
