The total amount paid for O.K. was approximately US$ 95 million, taking into account primary working capital needs. The amount was paid in cash, part of which came from utilizing one of Bachoco's credit lines and the remainder from Bachoco's own resources. In its third quarter 2011 results, Bachoco announced cash and cash equivalents of US$ 236 million as of 30 September 2011.

I am very confident that working together, we will provide excellent service and quality products to all of our current and new customers."
