The principal owners of Cloetta Fazer, Oy Karl Fazer and AB Malfors Promotor, who collectively hold 78.5% of voting rights have struck a deal that will see the group become two companies – Cloetta and Fazer Confectionery.
Cloetta will apply for listing on Stockholm’s OMX Nordic Exchange and Fazer Confectionery will be consolidated as part of Finland’s privately-held Fazer Group.
The relationship between the two families who own the largest proportion of Cloetta Fazer shares – Finnish Fazer and the Swedish Svenfelt – has been rocky.
In 2003, disagreements over the distribution of shares emerged when the Svenfelts took legal action to prevent the Fazer family increasing its shareholding in the company.
