    Press release

    Singapore On April 14, 2025, Olam Group Limited (“Olam Group” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries “the Group”) had announced, as part of its update on the Re-organisation Plan1, its intention to responsibly divest and monetise the Remaining Olam Group’s assets and businesses over time and progressively distribute the net proceeds to Olam Group shareholders via special dividends.

    In line with this updated Re-organisation Plan, Olam Group today announces that it has entered into definitive agreement with Equitane DMCC (“Equitane”) to sell its remaining 32.4% stake in ARISE P&L Limited (ARISE P&L) for a price consideration of US$ 175 million, which represents approximately a 7% premium over the carrying value of the investment in the Company’s books as at 31 December 2024.

    Equitane DMCC, previously known as the Africa Transformation and Industrialization Fund, is a long-term investment platform headquartered in Dubai, UAE, dedicated to creating sustainable and innovative solutions across key sectors in Africa. Equitane was established in 2021 by the founding team of the ARISE group, a leading Pan-African developer and operator of world-class industrial parks (ARISE Integrated Industrial Platforms (“ARISE IIP”)) and logistics providers (ARISE Infrastructure Services (“ARISE IS”) and ARISE P&L).

    The Group had in 2022 sold its remaining stakes in ARISE IIP and ARISE IS to Equitane global conglomerate.

    The sale is not expected to have a material impact on the net tangible assets per share or earnings per share of the Group for the current financial year.

    Subject to customary closing conditions, the sale is expected to close within FY2025.
