Newlat Food S.p.A. (now NewPrinces) has successfully finalized the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of Princes Limited from Mitsubishi Corporation. This transformative transaction fulfills Newlat's 20-year vision to evolve from a family-owned business into a major multinational player. The integration creates a new European food industry champion—renamed "New Princes Group"—with a combined workforce of approximately 8,800 employees and a diversified portfolio covering ten distinct product categories. Following the closing, a new Board of Directors was appointed to lead the combined entity, with ambitious strategic targets set for 2030, including significant expansion in revenue, profitability, and free cash flow generation.

PRINCES, which reported an EBITDA margin of LOGIN in 2024, is valued in this transaction at an EV/EBITDA multiple of LOGIN, representing a LOGIN discount to the 10.1x average currently observed in the AgriFood sector.
