Veritas Investments Market Update: Nosh

Further to the announcement of 14 December 2016, Veritas Investments Limited provides a further update in relation to its wholly-owned subsidiary Nosh Group Limited, the operating company for the Nosh food market business.

Over the Christmas / New Year period, Veritas received a number of approaches from potential purchasers of Nosh. The Board is currently in discussions with several parties in relation to a potential sale of Nosh.

ANZ has agreed to extend the date for Veritas' delivery of a proposal for Nosh to 31 January 2017.

The franchisee of the Nosh Constellation Drive store has indicated its intention to operate independently of the Nosh brand, and has purported to terminate its franchise agreement. Veritas does not accept that termination, and the parties are in dispute over the matter.
