Immediate Report
Subject: Acquisition of an Irish Flavors Company
Frutarom Industries Ltd. ("Frutarom") hereby announces that on August 2,
2016 it signed, through a subsidiary, an agreement for the purchase of 100% of the shares in the Irish company Redbrook
Ingredient Services Limited ("Redbrook") in exchange for approximately USD 44.8 million (€ 40
million). The purchase agreement includes a mechanism for additional consideration based on Redbrook's future business
performance. The transaction was completed at the time of signing and was financed through bank debt.
Redbrook was founded in 1987 and has an R&D, sales and marketing center and production site
near Dublin, Ireland, as well as a production unit and R&D and sales and marketing center in Daventry, England, near
Frutarom's site at Wellingborough, England. Redbrook has 39 employees.
Redbrook's main activity is the development, production and marketing of innovative specialty
savory taste solutions, which includes seasoning and functional blends, marinades, glazes, cures and specialty ingredients for
food processors.
Redbrook sales for the 12 month period ending June 2016, according to current exchange rates,
amounted to approximately US$ 25.4 million (approximately €22.7 million). The financial figures shown here are based on
Redbrook's managerial reports for the 12 month period ending June 30, 2016.
The CEO of Redbrook, who has many years of experience in the industry and has headed the company's
growth in recent years, will continue in his role and will join Frutarom's Flavors activity management.
Frutarom does not view this transaction as the purchase of a material asset.
