The Competition Commission has approved, with conditions, the R4.8bn sale of branded food-bev group, Clover Industries, to a consortium led by Tel Aviv-based Central Bottling Company.
After four months of speculation, a consortium called Milco is offering Clover shareholders R25 per share - a 25% premium to Friday’s R20 closing price and valuing Clover at R4.8bn - and, if approved, will delist it from the JSE.
