3yrs without profit: Tiger Brands sells 65% shares in Dangote Flour Mills for $1
By ANDREW OJIEZEL
Apparently dissatisfied with the level of near zero profit making after three years investment, a South Africa’s Tiger Brands said it plans to sell its 65.7 per cent stake in its loss making Nigerian division to Dangote Industries Limited for $1.
Tiger Brands, South Africa’s biggest consumer foods maker, said Dangote Industries will give Tiger Brands an immediate cash injection of 0.7 billion rand ($46.1 million).
Tiger Brands will assume and settle the unit’s debt of 0.4 billion rand.
Tiger Brands has not made money from Tiger Branded Consumer Goods Plc of Nigeria (TBCG), formerly known as Dangote Flour Mills, since paying nearly $200 million for a 65 per cent stake in the firm three years ago.
