By Chris Stiles • Monday, May 04 11:58 • Permanent Link

SunOpta has completed its acquisition by an affiliate of Refresco Holding B.V., with shareholders receiving US$6.50 in cash for each common share.

The transaction moved from approval to closing in less than three weeks after shareholders voted on April 16, 2026. SunOpta received a final order from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on April 22, and the deal was completed on May 1, 2026.

With the acquisition closed, SunOpta’s shares are set to be delisted from both the Toronto Stock Exchange and Nasdaq. The company also said it will apply to stop being a reporting issuer under Canadian securities laws and deregister its securities under U.S. securities laws.

Registered shareholders still need to submit a completed letter of transmittal along with their share certificates or DRS advice to receive the cash consideration. Shareholders who hold their stock through a broker or other intermediary do not need to submit that form. The market has reacted to these announcements by moving the company's shares 0.15% to a price of $6.49. If you want to know more, read the company's complete 8-K report here.
