This proposed transfer follows an exclusive agreement between Nestlé S.A. and global investment firm Platinum Equity to establish Peranel as a joint venture for the Nigerian waters and premium beverages business. The company's board held a meeting on October 28, 2026 to review management's report on developments since the initial announcement. The board decided to seek the necessary approvals for the transaction. Three reports were reviewed, providing an independent evaluation of the proposed transfer.

The company reported improved financial performance for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, with stronger gross margins and lower net finance costs.",
