The company has entered into an agreement with a syndicate that has agreed to buy over 2.8m shares from the business for C$28 a share.

AGT said the issue has an over-allotment option that could see the proceeds rise to C$92m.

“The net proceeds of the Offering are intended to be used for further expansion of the food ingredients and packaged food segments, other growth opportunities, debt repayment and working capital,” the company said.

In January, AGT acquired Quebec-based retail food packaging company CLIC International.
