In this same announcement, ARYZTA stated that it will pay for FSB by way of USD 880 million in cash and up to USD 20 million in ARYZTA shares and noted that the USD 20 million equity consideration was to facilitate certain FSB management who are currently FSB shareholders and wish to retain a portion of their equity interest.  The number of new ARYZTA shares to be issued in that regard has now been fixed at 552,045. These new 552,045 shares are being issued at the same price per share as the 11 June 2010 share placing (i.e. CHF 41.50 per new share) and represent the final USD 20 million of the consideration for the purchase of FSB.
