Olam International Receives $915 Million Investment From Mitsubishi Corporation
Olam International announced the issue of approximately 332.7 million ordinary shares to Mitsubishi Corporation at a subscription price of $2.75 per new share, a total worth of $915 million.
The new shares represent approximately 13.6 percent of the existing issued and paid-up share capital of Olam and approximately 12 percent of the enlarged issued and paid-up share capital following the completion of the subscription.
The subscription price represents a 49.7 percent premium over the weighted average price of the shares of $1.84 on 26 August 2015. This investment comes in as a sign of confidence in Olam after defending itself against US short-seller Muddy Waters LLC last year about its finances and operations.
