Brussels and Paris, 11 January 2012, for instant release
SOLVAY APPLIES FOR SECOND LISTING OF ITS SHARES ON NYSE EURONEXT PARIS
Solvay, listed on NYSE Euronext Brussels, announced today that it has filed an
application for a listing of its shares on NYSE Euronext Paris. This second
listing is consistent with the company's historical record and its significant
presence on the French markets. Active in France since 1872, the Solvay Group
generated combined sales of EUR 1.3 billion in 2010.
Since the recent acquisition of Rhodia, a multinational company with French
roots, France is from an industrial point of view the most important country for
the new Solvay Group, with 15 production sites, five research and development
centers and about 7,000 employees.
Listing of the Solvay shares on NYSE Euronext Paris is expected on 23 January
2012 following a direct listing procedure without issuing any new shares.
SOLVAY is an international chemical Group committed to sustainable development
with a clear focus on innovation and operational excellence. Its recent
acquisition of specialty chemicals company Rhodia created a much larger player,
which is realizing over 90% of its sales in markets where it is among the top 3
global leaders. Solvay offers a broad range of products that contribute to
improving the quality of life and the performance of its customers in markets
such as consumer goods, construction, automotive, energy, water and environment,
and electronics. The Group is headquartered in Brussels, employs about 30,000
people in 55 countries and generated EUR 12 billion in sales (pro forma) in
2010. Solvay SA is listed on NYSE Euronext (SOLB.BE - Bloomberg: SOLB.BB -
Reuters: SOLBt.BR).
