Heijmans sells Belgian operations to BESIX
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Heijmans has reached agreement concerning the sale of all shares in its Belgian
companies Heijmans Bouw, Heijmans Infra and Van den Berg to BESIX. The
transaction is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2017, following
approval by the antitrust authorities. The net proceeds in cash for Heijmans are
expected to be over ? 40 million.
The sale concerns the companies Heijmans Bouw, Heijmans Infra and Van den Berg,
respectively active in the construction, infrastructure, and cable and pipeline
construction segments in Belgium. The companies operate from several locations
in Flanders. In 2016, the collective turnover of the companies amounted to
approximately ? 250 million.
This transaction will reduce the net debt with approximately ? 40 million. The
divestment yields a positive transaction result of ? 15 - 20 million, which
will be recognized in the financial year 2017. The divestment of the Belgian
operations is a next step towards debt reduction and a structural improvement in
debt/equity ratios. Consequently, Heijmans will focus more on its Dutch
activities.
The buyer is BESIX, an international group operating in construction,
infrastructure, environmental projects, facility management and property
development, and has a home base in Belgium. The integration with BESIX offers
the companies many opportunities to further develop themselves on the Belgian
market.
ING Corporate Finance and Rabobank Corporate Finance act as Heijmans' M&A
Advisor in this process.
