Norway's Orkla completes Kotipizza acquisition

Orkla ASA on Jan. 17 said it completed its acquisition of Finnish pizza chain Kotipizza Group Oyj.

Orkla acquired Kotipizza with a tender offer that paid €23 per outstanding share for a total consideration of about €146.1 million. The Norwegian conglomerate purchased 762,597 Kotipizza shares or about 98.59% of the company.

The deal was announced in November as part of Orkla's strategy to invest in businesses "with faster growth than traditional grocery."
