I started serious Investing Journey in Jan 2000 to create wealth through long-term investing and short-term trading; but as from April 2013 my Journey in Investing has changed to create Retirement Income for Life till 85 years old in 2041 for two persons over market cycles of Bull and Bear.

Since 2017 after retiring from full-time job as employee; I am moving towards Investing Nirvana - Freehold Investment Income for Life investing strategy where 100% of investment income from portfolio investment is cashed out to support household expenses i.e. not a single cent of re-investing!

It is 57% (2017 to Aug 2022) to the Land of Investing Nirvana - Freehold Income for Life!

By TEO SI JIA


Agricultural company Olam International Limited on Wednesday announced that it has bought 100 per cent of the shares in Hemarus Industries Limited (HIL) of India and its accompanying assets for US$73.8 million.

It will acquire a sugar mill that produces 3,500 tons crush per day and a 20 MW co-generation facility in the purchase.

Olam will be injecting US$6.6 million to bring the sugar mill's capacity to 5,000 TCD, following the transaction.

The sale will be fulfilled in part by US$8 million in cash and US$66 million in debt assumption.

'This acquisition strengthens our position in the Indian sugar industry and is in line with our stated strategic objective of building an annual sugarcane crush capacity of between 2 to 2.5 million tons over the course of the next 5 years,' said Sanjay Sacheti, Olam's India and SAARC regional head.

HIL, which has a book value of US$70 million, is expected to contribute US$90-100 million in turnover and a 32 per cent return in equity.

The acquisition is expected to be Ebitda accretive in its first year and earnings accretive in the next.
