Under the original acquisition, unveiled in 2005, the Australian baking and food ingredients group agreed to a base payment of NZ$609.64m. The earn out payment would be rewarded to Graeme Hart’s Rank Group, who owned NZDF, if the company posted an increase in annualised EBITDA of NZ$30.6m.


At the time of the initial acquisition agreement, Goodman Fielder was a wholly owned subsidiary of Burns Philip, another Hart company, which currently holds a 20% stake in Goodman Fielder after its December 2005 IPO. 


NZDF is New Zealand’s second largest milk and dairy producer.
