Savola Group said on Wednesday that it acquired SAR 265 million in capital gains after selling its
packaging unit Savola Packaging Systems to Takween Advanced Industries for SAR 910 million.
The company had signed the deal with Takween on Tuesday.
The group’s assets will decline five percent after the deal, the company said in a statement to Tadawul, Saudi’s bourse. However, its capital gains after the sale will be reflected in its 2015 financial results.
Savola added that there are no related-parties or any other information that may influence the price
of the transaction.
The proceeds generated from the deal will be used to support Savola’s core food and retail businesses, as well as adjacent activities, the company added.
