How Tally knows
Kirin Holdings acquired Lion Nathan in 2009 and merged it with National Foods to form what became Lion. Lion Pty Limited is the Australian company; Lion's New Zealand beer business trades as Lion NZ, and Kirin Holdings is its ultimate parent. The direct owner and the operator are different facts here: Lion is the operating group, Kirin the owner above it.
