LONDON (Alliance News) - Ocado Group PLC Founder and Chief Executive Tim Steiner might be forced to sell part of his multimillion-pound stake in the online grocery delivery company amid a bitter divorce battle, according to a report by the Times.
The Times reported on Monday that Steiner is facing a legal fight with his wife after he moved in with a Polish model who is almost 20 years his junior.
Court documents reveal that Steiner is seeking a divorce on the ground of his wife's "unreasonable behaviour", the Times said, adding that a court battle and expensive settlement could force a sale of part of his 5% stake in Ocado.
