Heijmans to sell Oevermann to PORR
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
On 6 March 2017, Heijmans reached agreement on the sale of all the shares in its
German company Oevermann GmbH to PORR Deutschland GmbH, a subsidiary of the
Austrian construction group PORR AG. The transaction is expected to be completed
in the second quarter of 2017, subject to approval of the competition
authorities. The anticipated net proceeds in cash for Heijmans will amount to ?
60 million. The sale will produce a transaction result of approximately ? 15
million, which will be recognized in the 2017 financial year.
The sale of Oevermann is an important step towards further debt reduction and a
structural improvement of the financial leverage ratios. The transaction is
consistent with the change in strategy initiated by Heijmans, which focuses on
the Dutch market.
Oevermann GmbH operates in the road construction and non-residential
construction sector in Germany. In 2016, the company's turnover amounted to ?
215 million. The company has approximately 700 employees. PORR's international
organization has identified Germany as one of its core markets and the
acquisition of Oevermann means a further strengthening of PORR's position in
this market.
ING Corporate Finance and Rabobank Corporate Finance act as financial advisors
to Heijmans in this process.
