The cash will also be used to pay down debt, the company said in a statement with stock market watchdog Comision Nacional de Valores (CNMV). Natra will issue 8.047.058m shares at €5 each.


Natra, which owns fast-growing functional foods company Natraceuticals, will employ €22m to pay for the Jacali purchase. The remainder of the funds will be to lower its undisclosed debt.


Natra expects the Jacali acquisition to help it achieve its €300m revenue target for 2005.


The Valencia-based Natra group comprises cacao-derivatives firm Natra Cacao, chocolate maker Zahor, Natraceuticals and winery Torre Oria.
