Fonterra’s farmers approve $3.2B capital return after selling consumer business to Lactalis, with payout pending 2026 regulatory approval.
Fonterra’s farmer shareholders have approved a $2-per-share capital return, totaling about $3.2 billion, following the $4.22 billion sale of its Mainland consumer business to French company Lactalis.
The plan passed with 98.85% support, exceeding the required threshold.
The tax-free payout will be made once the deal closes, expected in the first quarter of 2026, after final regulatory approvals.
Proceeds will also fund a $1 billion investment in Fonterra’s ingredients and foodservice operations.
