Unity Foods Limited will make an equity investment of almost Rs5 billion in its subsidiary Sunridge Foods (Private) Limited, which makes sugar and rice among other products, the company shared in a notice to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on Monday.

“Unity Foods Limited hereby convey that the Board of Directors (BoD) of the company in its meeting held today has approved equity investment of Rs4,999,999,995 in Sunridge Foods (Private) Limited (Sunridge), a wholly owned subsidiary of Unity, by way of subscription of 111,111,111 right shares at Rs45 per share (including premium of Rs35 per share),” read the notice.

Unity said the investment is being made with a vision of long-term growth.

Incorporated in Pakistan in 1991 as a Private Limited Company, Unity previously operated in the textile sector under the name of Taha Spinning Limited.

Later, due to operating losses and financial problems, that business was closed down and the company was revived under the name of Unity Foods with the principal business activity of the company having been shifted from yarn manufacturing to edible oil extraction, refining and related businesses.
