The consideration for the Acquisition is AU$33.7million (equivalent to approximately HK$178.6 million). Upon completion of the Acquisition, ABC Pastry will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group engaged in the frozen food business in Australia market, catering to nationwide retailers.

ABC Pastry is a well-known Australian brand based in Sydney, nationally recognised for its premium quality dumplings. It is an experienced manufacturer of frozen dumplings with a reputable brand known to the local Asian communities in New South Wales and Victoria, Australia. The Group believes that Nissin Foods being a listed company could provide valuable expertise and experience in the operational and financial management of ABC Pastry. The Acquisition would contribute to ABC Pastry's long-term development and enable the Group to diversify its business portfolio. Such diversification will broaden the Group's income sources, benefitting the Group and its shareholders.

The Acquisition will present the Group with a premium opportunity to tap into Australian frozen food market. The Australian frozen food market size is expected to experience robust growth as the frozen dumplings, in particular, have been benefitting from the rising Asian migration to Australia. Additionally, there is a growing demand for convenient, high-quality frozen foods, driven by busy lifestyles and a desire for international cuisine such as Asian. The Group anticipates that the trend will continue, and there will be ample opportunities for expansion of the premium frozen food market in Australia.

Mr. Kiyotaka ANDO, Executive Director, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Nissin Foods, said, 'The acquisition of ABC Pastry marks another milestone in our overseas market plan, soon after the joining of the Korean snack manufacturer Gaemi Food to the Nissin family in June. This latest acquisition will allow us to diversify our product offerings and distribution channels and aligns with our long-term corporate vision and strategy of strengthening our market presence in key overseas markets. By leveraging ABC Pastry's extensive local network and premium frozen products, Nissin Foods is well-positioned to enhance our connection with the local community and Australian consumers. We believe that the acquisition will reap significant operational and financial synergies through the integration of its business with ours, ultimately delivering increased value to shareholders.'
