A U.S. investor group headed by Centre Partners Management LLC and top industry executives Bernt O. Bodal and Jeffrey W. Davis announced today that it has closed its acquisition of the Oslo-based Aker RGI ASA's seafood assets in the United States, including the American Seafoods Company and Frionor USA, a value-added seafood processing company. As previously announced, Aker RGI ASA will retain an eight percent investment in the new company and also will hold warrants that, if exercised and when combined with the original investment, would represent a total interest of less than 20 percent of the new company's total equity.
