Malaysian family-owned investment firm, the Oregon Group, owns 51% of King Salmon. It has been a shareholder in the company since 1996. Following the proposed offer, Oregon will retain a stake of approximately 40%. The sale of Direct Capital shares will exclude those held on behalf of King Salmon directors John Ryder and Mark Hutton, the company said. The remaining 7% of shares in King Salmon are held by directors and current and former senior management.
King Salmon harvests and processes more than 6,000 tonnes of king salmon every year across its production facilities in the Marlborough Sounds, Nelson, Golden Bay and Canterbury. Three new sea farms, for which the company received consents to establish in late 2014, will enable it to boost volume by around 50% in the next five years “and to approximately double existing production over time”, the company said.
