How to read this
- The board has approved the proposed acquisition and a definitive Share Purchase Agreement has been executed, so this is a transaction that has moved past the initial announcement stage.
- It is still conditional: competition and anti-trust approvals and customary closing conditions are required, and completion is expected only in Q4 FY27.
- The consideration is payable in cash, with the stated US$ 809mn figure including contingent amounts and interest for deferred consideration.
- Tristar's disclosed scale (c.US$ 1.4bn FY2025 revenue, c.US$ 257mn EBITDA, c.US$ 82mn net profit) is the quantitative context for judging the size of the business being acquired relative to the price of US$ 809mn for 89.8%.
