Any references/sources for this? eddyeddy      ( Date: 25-Feb-2026 14:01) Posted: In a recent interview with the Saudi economic news platform Maaal, Sulaiman Al-Rumaih, CEO of the Saudi Agricultural and Livestock Investment Company (SALIC), stated that the deal for the remaining stake in Olam Agri is expected to close by Q1 2026 primarily due to the progress in regulatory approvals. Key reasons for this timeline include: Securing Regulatory Milestones: SALIC has already obtained the majority of necessary regulatory approvals across various jurisdictions, including clearance from the European Union and South Africa's Competition Commission. Finalizing the Full Takeover: The transaction involves SALIC increasing its stake from roughly 35% to a majority holding of over 80%, with a long-term goal of 100% ownership. Operational Integration: The Q1 2026 target allows for the completion of final administrative procedures and the formal transition of Olam Group's remaining interests to SALIC.

Price should be heading north due to results out on Friday morning and if all goes well price should be heading $1.20 level for complete of sale deal play.

 

broke $1 liao

 

Bit surprising that this is still outstanding so late in the day. Not sure why SALIC have taken so long. But for Olam shareholders it may even be a good thing given the compensation we get for delayed completion.

The notication itself acknowledges that the clearance request is not due to a concentration issue because SALIC does not have a presence in ECOWAS, so the request is more of a formality due to the size of Olam Agri itself. So logically there is no competition issue to consider.

Ltd. and Olam Holdings Pte. Ltd. (together, the Sellers) and sole control over Olam Agri. The proposed transaction constitutes sole control over Olam Agri through its majority stake in Olam Holdings Pte Ltd. The transaction is therefore subject to notification to the ERCA under the provisions of Regulation C/REG.23/12/21. The SALIC will have issued share capital of Olam Agri Holdings for a sole control of Olam Agri as a merchant and processor of agricultural goods with activities throughout the entire value chain (including farming, origination, marketing, processing and distribution). The notification of the transaction to ERCA, for the purpose of prior authorization, is in accordance with Article 2 (1) (a) of Regulation C/REG.23/12/21 on the rules of procedure for mergers and acquisitions in ECOWAS, the Enabling Rules PC/REX.1/01/24 on the threshold for mergers and acquisitions and the thresholds for dominant and monopolistic positions. As the acquisition involves entities in ECOWAS member States, it is, therefore, subject to notification to ERCA under the provisions of Regulation C/REG.23/12/21. Concerned parties SALIC is a joint stock company incorporated in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), owned and controlled by the Public Investment Fund (PIF). It is an investment company with investments both in the KSA and internationally in companies active in the fields of agriculture and trading of food commodities. SALIC?s agri-business is focused on farming and procurement as well as importing commodities into the KSA. According to the notification, SALIC does not operate directly in the Community market, its presence being solely through its stake in Olam Agri Holdings. However, it is active in other regions of the world, notably the Balkans and the Americas SALIC as key player in the global agrifood investment landscape, focus on creating sustainable value through investments across agrifood value chain to improve access to essential foods, enhance stability, drive growth and responsible practices. Olam Agri is incorporated and headquartered in Singapore and mainly operates as a merchant and processor of agricultural goods with activities throughout the entire value chain (including farming, origination, marketing, processing and distribution). Olam Agri and its undertakings operates in the agricultural food chain within the Community through sourcing, trading, and processing of grains and oilseeds (such as wheat, maize, barley, rice, rye, flaxseed, sorghum, chickpeas, and soybeans) and edible oils (such as palm, rapeseed, soybean and sunflower oils), animal feed and protein (such as poultry and aqua feed). It also covers wheat milling (flour), pasta production and edible oil refining rice, as well as processing cotton, rubber, sugar and wood products. Expected results of the acquisition According to the parties, the proposed transaction will lead to a sole control of Olam Agri and its undertakings within the community market, which aligned with SALIC?s long-term investment strategy in the agri-food sector and also allows the Acquirer to take a more active role in Olam Agri?s governance and growth and more importantly also strengthen the Target?s position as a differentiated agri-business and support its transformation into a sustainable, fully integrated, and diversified food company. Rights of third parties Pursuant to Article 44 (2) (a) (iv) of the ECOWAS Regional Competition Authority?s Manual of Investigation and Notification Procedures, third parties are invited to submit their comments to ERCA within thirty (30) days of the publication of this communication.

The cocoa prices have dropped about 75 percent since their 2024 peak.

the lowest since mid-2023, and have slumped roughly 75 per cent since hitting a record in 2024.

should be good for Olaim net debt and also less headache with the lower interest expense for Olaim.

But the deal likely to be approved in May.

 

So for this case, Olam will continue to receive XXXK USD daily and hope this coming FY release (in a few days) can be a good one

You can take a look at thier website that all merger or acquisition deal will need go through for this investigation process and likely this deal will go through it.

 

The procedure is just started for Africa judicial authorities to approved it and they only just started the process .

 

So it looks like the deal will not go through ? Do I get it correctly ? Please enlighten , thanks .
