OUTOTEC OYJ STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE, MARCH 23, 2010 AT 9.30 AM
Outotec has completed the acquisition of Ausmelt
Outotec has successfully completed the acquisition of Australian listed company
Ausmelt Ltd and owns now 100 percent of all the shares and votes of the company.
Outotec announced in December 2009 that it had acquired 19.9 percent of the
outstanding shares in Ausmelt and launched an off-market takeover bid to acquire
all the remaining shares. In the transaction Ausmelt was valued at approximately
AUD 50 million (EUR 31 million).
"One of Outotec's strategic growth initiatives is acquisition of complementary
technologies. Ausmelt has an excellent strategic fit with Outotec. This
acquisition complements our technology portfolio in environmentally sound
smelting technologies, and allows us to offer smaller scale copper and nickel
smelters as well as solutions for ferrous metals, zinc, lead and tin
concentrates, zinc bearing residues, recycling and various secondary and waste
materials. We believe that within Outotec there are significant growth
opportunities for the Ausmelt business," says Pertti Korhonen, President and CEO
of Outotec.
