At an extraordinary general meeting held on Friday (25 July), the proposal – first announced last month – was given the green light.


The company will revert back to Swedish group Cloetta and Finnish firm Fazer Confectionery, which will be consolidated into the privately-held Fazer Group. Cloetta Fazer was formed when the two companies merged in 2000.


The move brings to an end tensions between the company’s two major shareholders. Both sides accused the other of breaking an agreement to limit their stakes in the business and mediation talks failed to resolve the conflict.
