Fonterra Limited has entered a halt to trading for itself on behalf of the Fonterra Shareholders' Fund.

Halting will be for the ASX, NZX Main Board and the Fonterra Shareholders' Market.

It will remain effective from when the market opens on Wednesday, May 5.

The company considers making an announcement prior to when the market opens on May 6. This is in relation to a comprehensive consultation process that will seek shareholder feedback on options to change its capital structure.
