The transaction, scheduled to take effect on December 31, 2026, subject to approval by shareholder general meetings and compliance with creditors' opposition periods, will result in the dissolution without liquidation of the British subsidiary acquired. The financial operation translates into an extension of Boissons du Cameroun's share capital, increased from 57.36 billion FCFA to 75.47 billion FCFA, representing a 31.57% strengthening realized through the creation of 1,811,106 new shares. 

The net contribution made by the absorbed entity amounts to 271.76 billion FCFA, stemming from a gross patrimonial value of 328.60 billion FCFA against an enforceable liability of 56.84 billion FCFA. The union consolidates the acquisition agreement approved in March 2023 by the CEMAC Competition Commission, putting an end to the coexistence of two distinct administrative structures for the production and sale of the beverage portfolio.

The centralization of industrial assets within Boissons du Cameroun simplifies accounting and tax management of production chains. The consolidation of brewing infrastructure and distribution networks eliminates operational redundancies while optimizing national market supply.

The creation of a single brewing hub strengthens the investor's negotiating power vis-à-vis suppliers and logistics networks. The simplification of the corporate structure consolidates the subsidiary's profitability while generating substantial economies of scale across all production sites.
