   In the prior year, the board of directors of Tiger Brands decided to dispose of the company's 51% stake in its Kenyan business, Haco Tiger Brands (E.A.) Limited (Haco), to its local partner, who held the remaining 49% of the company. A detailed review of the Haco business was conducted in the context of Tiger Brands' long-term growth strategy and core competencies. Taking into account these factors, it was decided that Haco would be better positioned under local Kenyan leadership and control. This had culminated in the local partner making an offer for Tiger Brands' 51% shareholding, at a price that is considered fair and reasonable. This transaction was subject to a number of suspensive conditions, including receipt of the necessary regulatory approvals in Kenya. Haco was previously accounted for within the segment referred to as "International operations – East Africa".
