Solvay to sell its stake in Vinythai to AGC Asahi Glass
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Brussels, December 14, 2016 --- Solvay has signed a definitive agreement to sell
its 58.77 percent stake in its Thai subsidiary Vinythai PCL to Japanese company
AGC Asahi Glass (AGC), thereby exiting its Asian polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
activities.
The transaction is based on a total enterprise value of 16.5 billion Thai Baht
(? 435 million), representing a multiple of 8x mid-cycle EBITDA. Completion of
the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including antitrust
approvals, and is expected in the first half of 2017.
"This agreement follows Solvay's earlier sale of the European PVC business and
the upcoming completion of the divestment of its Brazilian PVC activities. These
transactions represent a significant milestone in the Group's transformation
towards a multi-specialty chemical group," said Vincent De Cuyper, member of
Solvay's Executive Committee.
