Mattr Announces Regulatory Approval and Expected Closing Date for Pipe Coating Business Sale
27 Noviembre 2023 - 6:30AM
Shawcor Ltd., dba Mattr Infratech (“Mattr” or the “Company”) (TSX:
MATR) announced today that Norwegian and Mexican antitrust
approvals have been issued for the sale of the majority of its pipe
coating business (“Pipeline Performance Group” or “PPG”) to Tenaris
S.A. (“Tenaris”) (NYSE and Mexico: TS and EXM Italy: TEN) announced
through the Company’s press release dated August 14, 2023.
Accordingly, all required regulatory approvals for the transaction
have been obtained. The transaction is now expected to close in the
next two weeks, subject to customary closing conditions. Upon
closing, the Company expects to receive the agreed-upon purchase
price of $166 million USD, or approximately $230 million CAD at
current exchange rates, on a cash-free, debt-free basis, subject to
normal working capital adjustments. Consistent with previously
shared estimates, the aggregate net cash proceeds to be received by
the Company in relation to this transaction are still expected to
be modestly higher than the agreed purchase price.
“With the Mexican regulatory approval issued we
now expect to close this important transaction within the coming
weeks, enabling our Pipeline Performance Group business, and its
thousands of extraordinary employees, to move forward into the next
phase of their growth,” said Mike Reeves, President and CEO of
Mattr. “Upon closing, Mattr’s extensive portfolio transformation
and its strategic review process will be materially completed,
enabling an even greater focus of time, energy and capital into the
accelerated profitable growth of our high-value Composite and
Connection Technologies’ segments.”
