<h1>Acquirer and target set September 30, 2025 balance sheet cutoff for valuation; integration and due diligence underway</h1> The acquirer and the target have set September 30, 2025 as the cutoff date for closing balance sheets to finalize valuation in a pending acquisition; integration activities have already commenced to accelerate post-closing consolidation. Planned synergies include technology-driven farm management, joint farm onboarding and raw-material security, combined processing and scale efficiencies, expanded export market access, and enhanced sustainability/traceability protocols. Anticipated legal and commercial outcomes are revenue and margin expansion, strengthened market position, and potential re-rating that could attract institutional investors. The transaction raises customary due diligence, regulatory (trade/export and sustainability compliance), and closing-adjustment considerations tied to the agreed valuation date.
