SunOpta Clears Regulatory Hurdle in $1.1B Buyout by Refresco
SunOpta (STKL) has cleared a key regulatory hurdle in its proposed $1.1 billion acquisition by Refresco Holding B.V., with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission granting early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act. The deal still requires shareholder approval, court clearance, and compliance with other antitrust laws before closing in Q2 2026. The acquisition aims to expand Refresco's plant-based beverage capabilities.
