The Saudi Agricultural and Livestock Investment Company (“SALIC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Public Investment Fund of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is to invest US$1.24 billion for an estimated 35.4% stake in Olam Agri
This means an Implied 100% equity valuation of US$3.5 billion of Olam Agri will be subject to closing adjustments.
In-line with its Re-organization, this transformative deal will illuminate and unlock value in Olam Agri and will crystalize a benchmark valuation ahead of a potential future IPO and demerger.
