Scandi Standard (SCST SS) enters into agreement to divest its 51% stake in Rokkedahl Food
As part of its turnaround process for Denmark, Scandi Standard AB (publ) has entered into an agreement to divest its majority stake in Rokkedahl Food ApS (Rokkedahl Food) to the minority owner Rokkedahl Food Holding A/S, which is controlled by the Rokkedahl family.
Rokkedahl Food operates a slaughterhouse in Denmark specialised in processing of organic and free-range birds. Rokkedahl Food's products are currently being marketed in Denmark by Scandi Standard's subsidiary Danpo A/S. Danpo A/S will continue to market organic and free range products in Denmark after the transaction.
The divestment will reduce complexity and free up resources to focus on the ongoing turnaround process of our Ready-to-cook business in Denmark. The deal will also allow us to continue marketing organic and free-range products to our customers in Denmark in a much more capital efficient manner than today, says CEO of Scandi Standard Jonas Tunestål.
The deal, which will become effective 18 July 2023, will have a neutral P&L effect and reduce Scandi Standard's net interest bearing debt by about MSEK 170.
