Fonterra consumer business sale price jumps to $4.22b
The sale price of Fonterra’s global consumer and associated businesses to the world’s largest dairy company Lactalis has risen to $4.22 billion.
Last year two farmer nominated candidates won seats ahead of candidates (including one sitting director) endorsed by the Fonterra board and shareholders council. The board anointed candidates also had the blessing of the independent selection panel.
But farmers disregarded that and voted for two self nominated candidates. Two sitting directors are standing again this year.
