Diageo Signs Agreement to Acquire The Chalone Wine Group Ltd

Diageo plc has reached an agreement to acquire The Chalone Wine Group Ltd [Nasdaq: CHLN] for a cash consideration of $14.25 per share. The total consideration including debt is therefore expected to be approximately $260 million. The transaction, which is subject to regulatory approval in the United States, is expected to complete in the first quarter of the calendar year 2005. The acquisition of Chalone enhances the range of premium brands in Diageo’s North American wine business and is expected to yield significant synergies. It is therefore anticipated to become economic profit positive during the third full year of ownership.

Diageo North America President and CEO, Ivan Menezes, said, “The US wine market represents a growth opportunity for Diageo, with favorable demographic and consumption trends. Our North American wine business, Diageo Chateau & Estate Wines, has proved its ability to develop premium brands and drive value through integrating businesses. In our last fiscal year, Beaulieu Vineyard and Sterling Vineyards reported growth of 35% and 22% respectively, making DC&E one of the best performing US wine companies. The compatibility of Chalone’s operations to our existing Diageo Chateau and Estate Wines business will enhance our ability to integrate the two businesses and to innovate, to the benefit of the enlarged range of premium brands.”

Diageo Chateau & Estate Wines’ president, Ray Chadwick, commented, “By combining the premium wines of Chalone with our current premium brands we can improve our customer and consumer proposition to provide further growth opportunities. We look forward to working with the people and brands of Chalone as we continue to focus on quality and our robust innovation agenda.”

In the year ended December 31, 2003, Chalone reported gross revenues of $69.4m, net sales of $67.4m, EBITDA of $15.2 million and operating income of $7.5m. Total volume for the year was 675,329 cases (135,065 equivalent cases).
