Flour Mills of Nigeria Plc. (FMN) today announced that it has entered into a definite agreement to take over Oba Otudeko’e led Honeywell Flour Mills Plc (HFMP), in a deal worth N80 billion. This is following the latter’s decision to sell 71.69% stake to the former.

This is according to a notice filed with the Nigerian Exchange Limited (NGX) and seen by naijabusiness.com.ng, which partly reads: ‘’Flour Mills of Nigeria Plc. (‘’FMN’’) today announced that it has reached an agreement with Honeywell Group Limited (‘’HGL’’), the majority shareholder of Honeywell Flour Mills Plc. (‘’HFMP’’), to acquire a 71.69% majority shareholding interest in HFMP. In addition, FMN also entered into an agreement with the FNB Holdings Group to acquire the Group’s 5.06% equity in HFMP. Consequently, upon completion of the acquisition, and subject to obtaining all requisite regulatory approvals, FMN is set to hold a circa 76.75% equity interest in HFMP.’’

The deal which is in line with FMN’s global growth strategy is anticipated to add great value to the national economy, through the combination of two businesses with shared goals that will create a more resilient national champion in the Nigerian foods industry, ensuring long-term job creation and preservation. 

In addition, the deal will create a food business that is better positioned to benefit the growing Nigerian population and leverage opportunities stemming from the African Continental Free Trade Area (‘’AfCFTA’’).

As of the period of reporting this, the transaction is yet to be completed, as it is subject to regulatory approval. In view of this, shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in FMN’s shares until a further announcement is made
