Fonterra Co-operative Group Ltd updates on the divestment process for its global consumer businesses, considering both trade sale and IPO options.
Fonterra Co-operative Group Ltd has shared new developments regarding the divestment of its global Consumer business along with Fonterra Oceania and Sri Lanka. The company is evaluating dual options: a trade sale or an initial public offering (IPO). As a preparatory move for a potential IPO, Anne Templeman-Jones has been appointed Chair-elect of the Audit and Risk Committee for the Mainland Group Board.
Fonterra Chair Peter McBride highlighted Anne’s rich experience across banking, financial services, consumer goods, and energy sectors, emphasizing her executive roles in global banking and governance positions such as her nine-year tenure with CBA Group and leadership at Blackmores Group and Worley Limited.
This complements the March announcement of Elizabeth Coutts ONZM as Chair-elect for the Mainland Group Board. The Co-op is also making strides in the trade sale process and notes that some potential purchasers are beginning to seek regulatory approvals, a standard procedure before finalizing any deal.
