Danone Exits Lifeway Foods With US$5 Million Share Buyback After Failed Acquisition Danone plans to sell its entire 22.7% stake in US kefir producer Lifeway Foods after deciding not to pursue a full acquisition.
Lifeway Foods previously rejected two takeover offers from Danone in 2024, calling them undervalued and a "hostile takeover."
As part of the exit, Lifeway will repurchase $5m of its shares from Danone at $19.50 each in a secondary offering expected to close on 19 May.
This move indicates Danone is stepping back from a potential US kefir acquisition and instead reallocating capital away from its Lifeway position.
Investors may want to watch how Danone explains this decision in future communications, particularly whether it reflects any change in priorities for its dairy and functional beverages exposure. Board Change • Apr 30

Tata Consumer Products Reportedly in Advanced Discussions to Acquire Danone SA’s India Nutraceuticals and Specialised Nutrition Portfolio Tata Consumer Products Limited (NSEI:TATACONSUM) is in advanced discussions to acquire Danone S.A. (ENXTPA:BN)'s India nutraceuticals and specialised nutrition portfolio, according to people familiar with the matter, part of its push in the fast-growing wellness and nutrition market. Negotiations taking place over the past few months gained momentum recently, one of the persons said. Both sides are said to be close to agreeing on valuation. An acquisition would give the maker of Tata Tea entry into the value-added nutrition segment, where it will compete with Nestlé and Abbott. TCPL has been building a broader wellness ecosystem, largely through acquisitions such as Soulfull, Capital Foods and Organic India, as well as expanding into protein-rich foods, organic staples and functional beverages. The company has been on the prowl for acquisitions for several years to enter segments beyond core staples and tea, said Abneesh Roy, executive director at brokerage Nuvama Institutional Equities. "But cracking the nutraceuticals and infant nutrition space won't be easy. While the Tata name adds trust in sensitive categories like infant nutrition, the segment is highly regulated and has stronger rivals like Nestlé," he said. "Protein has emerged as one of the hottest battlegrounds across FMCG, with almost every major player entering the segment." Danone and TCPL did not respond to queries. Announcement • Nov 08

Danone Reportedly Plans to Sell Russian Operations to Chechnya-Linked Businessman Danone S.A. (ENXTPA:BN) is planning to sell its Russian business to a member of its Kremlin-installed management linked to the nephew of Chechen strongman Ramzan Kadyrov, seven months after Vladimir Putin ordered the seizure of the French company’s local operations. The dairy products group is looking to sell the rebranded Life & Nutrition to Vamin Tatarstan (OAO VAMIN Tatarstan), a Russian dairy company owned by 29-year-old Mintimer Mingazov, according to documents seen by the Financial Times and people familiar with the situation. Mingazov was appointed to Life & Nutrition’s board this summer shortly after the Kremlin handed control of the business to Yakub Zakriev, Kadyrov’s 33-year-old nephew, as Moscow retaliated against western sanctions imposed in response to its assault on Ukraine. In a letter sent to Russian agriculture minister Dmitry Patrushev and seen by the FT, Ayrat Mukhamadeev, the director of a newly created company owned by Vamin Tatarstan, said it had agreed to pay RUB 17.7 billion ($191.5 million) to take control of Danone’s Russia business-RUB 7.7 billion of which will go towards servicing debt in the Russia operation with the rest paying for Danone’s equity in the company. Two people with knowledge of the matter confirmed that the French group was pursuing a sale to Vamin. Danone declined to comment. The deal is subject to the approval of Russia’s Ministry of Agriculture before being voted on by a special government subcommittee in charge of approving exits by western companies. A green light remains uncertain, according to people with knowledge of the process-numerous western companies have had their applications rejected, or seen their deals fall apart because of disagreement within the Russian government. In the letter to the minister, Mukhamadeev said the transaction price represented a 56% discount to the business’s market value, according to an independent appraisal cited by the company. He noted that in order to ensure the “continuity” of its former Russian business, Danone had agreed to provide support until the end of July next year as Life & Nutrition continues to localise production of certain ingredients to preserve “the high quality of products to which Russian consumers are accustomed”.
