Cardinal Foods to sell its subsidiary Norsk Kylling

 

CapMan’s Norwegian portfolio company Cardinal Foods, in which CapMan Equity VII funds are a principal shareholder, has signed an agreement to sell its subsidiary Norsk Kylling to REMA Industrier.

 

CapMan funds made their initial investment in Cardinal companies, including Norsk Kylling, in 2005. A significant part of the sales proceeds from the sale of Norsk Kylling will be distributed to the shareholders of Cardinal Foods, making the investment very good for the investors in the CapMan funds. CapMan’s ownership in Cardinal Foods remains unchanged after the present transaction is closed. The closing of the transaction requires the approval from competition authorities. More information about the sale is available in Norwegian on Cardinal Foods’ website at www.cardinalfoods.no.
