Bakkafrost kauft einen schottischen Lachszüchter (Quelle: siehe Q3-Zahlen im Posting von Buckstar). Statt diesen Kauf über Schulden zu finanzieren, hat man sich für die Erhöhung des Eigenkapitals entschlossen. Und 500 NOK pro Aktie sind ein ordentlicher Rabatt auf den aktuellen Kurs von Bakkafrost...
On 25 September 2019, Bakkafrost signed a Share Purchase Agreement to acquire 68.6% of the out- standing shares in the Scottish Salmon Company (SSC) from Northern Link Ltd. The closing date is 8 October 2019. SSC is a fully integrated salmon farming business op- erating exclusively in Scotland with 60 sites across the West Coast and Hebridean Islands. The company is engaged in nearly all stages of the value chain en- suring full traceability and total supply chain in- tegrity. The current annual production capacity is 50,000 tonnes. SSC produced 29,913 tonnes gutted weight in 2018 and exported to 26 countries with a focus on North America and the Far East. SSC has developed a range of strong flagship brands, including Native Hebridean Salmon, Tartan Salmon Label Rouge and Lochlander Salmon. The company has over 600 employees. Bakkafrost has chosen to increase the company's share capital for the acquisition of SSC. The acquisition is therefore carried out without substantial increase in Bakkafrost’s external financing.
