At a total cost of EUR€1.2bn (US$1.47bn), the acquisition was funded through the equity offering which raised €550m in November 2005, a US private placement of €168m that was completed in December 2005, and a bank loan that will provide the remaining €482m. It is anticipated that the acquisition will be earnings neutral by the end of this year and profit-making from then onwards.
The purchase of EAC Nutrition makes Numico the market leader in the rapidly expanding Asian infant nutrition market.
EAC Nutrition will be managed as a separate division within Numico under the leadership of EAC’s former CEO Mark Wilson.
