The planned purchase represented an underlying enterprise value of about $95 million, Orkla said.

"If you also have synergies, this is probably a good acquisition," Sletmo said. Orkla shares were down 2.0 percent at 0820 GMT, in line with the main index in Oslo .OSEBX. The company was set to hold a capital market day on Wednesday with presentations starting at 1100 GMT. 

Cranswick plc (CWK) - Dag Sletmo at ABG Sundal Collier

British sausage skin maker Devro falls 4.6 percent and pork supplier Cranswick falls 4.7 percent.

'Consumers can become nervous, and substitute swine with other sources of protein,' Sletmo says, adding supply of swine would not be affected unless there were import restrictions or slaughter of infected animals.
