Because of the size relative to group turnover of the meat products business, stock market rules require the meat products disposal to be approved by shareholders and a circular has today been sent to shareholders which provides further information on the meat products disposal and includes a notice of an extraordinary general meeting of the company to be held 22 December 2005.
Under the deal the purchaser, a wholly owned subsidiary of J&J Tranfield Limited, pays a total of GBP4.5m (US$7.8m) payable as to GBP4.2m on completion and GBP300,000 payable 24 months following completion.
