apparently Mid-Canterbury-based SFF shareholder John Shrimpton of Glenthorne Station, supposedly one of the meat co-op’s largest individual shareholders. This comes on the back of last minute moves by Winston Peters to file complaints with the FMA and OIO over the move – in a desperate effort to derail the SFF/Shanghai Maling merger. The Hound understands Peters and Shrimpton are concerned there might be a ‘foreign’ takeover of SFF. However, it’s interesting that Shrimpton is an ex-pat Pom whose address is given by the Companies Office as Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
