Borouge plc (ADX:BOROUGE) and Borealis AG completed the acquisition of NOVA Chemicals Corporation from Nova Chemicals Holding GmbH. Borouge plc (ADX:BOROUGE) and Borealis AG agreed to acquire NOVA Chemicals Corporation from Nova Chemicals Holding GmbH for $9.4 billion on March 3, 2025. ADNOC will acquire NOVA Chemicals for $13.4 billion including debt. The acquisition, together with the recontribution of Borouge-4, would create a new $60+ billion global polyolefins champion, set to be the world’s fourth largest by nameplate production capacity. Under the terms of the agreement, ADNOC and OMV will hold equal stakes of 46.94% in Borouge Group International, with joint control and equal partnership, with the remaining 6.12% in free float. This is subject to Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) approval and assuming all existing Borouge free float shareholders accept to exchange their existing shares in Borouge into shares in Borouge Group International. The acquisition implies a multiple of c. 7.5x forward through-the-cycle Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) and is expected to be debt financed through the capital markets. The proposed agreement assumes a primary cash injection of approximately €1.6 billion by OMV into Borouge Group International. The cash injection will be reduced accordingly upon closing due to adjustment of the equity value of Borouge and Borealis after expected dividend payments up to completion. The new entity will be listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX), subject to approval by the SCA and ADX. The acquisition of NOVA Chemicals by the ADNOC is envisaged to be financed by a bridge-financing which shall thereafter be refinanced including by way of a capital increase with a currently expected volume up to an amount of $4 billion where OMV and ADNOC are not expected to participate, leading to an increase of the free float of the joint venture company.
Post completion of the acquisition, Borouge Group International is intended to be headquartered and domiciled in Vienna, with regional headquarters in Abu Dhabi, subject to regulatory approvals. In addition, Borouge Group International will retain key corporate hubs in Calgary, Pittsburgh and Singapore and Borouge Group International will be listed on the ADX.
The combination of Borouge and Borealis and acquisition of Nova is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary conditions. The final transaction will be under comprehensive review by the Borouge PLC Board of Directors. The transaction is currently expected to complete in first quarter of 2026. Margin profile of the new entity is expected to remain best-in-class globally and is expected to also be resilient over the cycle compared to peers, while providing the financial strength to fund future organic and inorganic growth opportunities. The proposed transactions are expected to unlock significant value through the realisation of operational and commercial synergies, improved global market access, accelerated rollout of new innovations, and sharing and scaling of advanced technologies. These synergies are currently estimated by ADNOC and OMV to deliver around a $500 million additional run-rate EBITDA, with 75% expected to be realised within three years after completion of the transactions.
As of July 8, 2025, The European Commission has approved, under the EU Merger Regulation, the acquisition of joint control of Nova Chemicals Corporation.
Morgan Stanley acted as the financial advisor to NOVA Chemicals. Christopher Cross, Simon Tysoe, Ashley Nguyen and Lilia Vazova of Latham & Watkins LLP acted as legal advisor to Abu Dhabi National Oil Company.

OMV to Enter Talks with ADNOC to Create $20 Billion Chemicals Giant OMV Aktiengesellschaft (WBAG:OMV) said on July 14, 2023 said it will enter negotiations with Abu Dhabi National Oil Co (ADNOC) to potentially create a chemicals giant via the combination of two entities in which both companies own stakes. The deal, if realised, would include a merger of petrochemicals group Borealis AG which is owned by OMV and ADNOC in a 75:25 split -- and Borouge plc (ADX:BOROUGE), which is 54:36 owned by ADNOC and Borealis. OMV said such a tie-up would result in both Borealis and Borouge becoming "equal partners under a jointly controlled, listed platform for potential growth acquisitions to create a global polyolefin company". A potential tie-up between the both petrochemicals companies, which was first reported last week, would create a global heavyweight with combined annual sales of more than $20 billion. OMV said any transaction depended on a number of criteria, including the valuation of both businesses as well as the approval of the Austrian group's management and supervisory boards and antitrust authorities.

Adnoc, OMV Reportedly Explore USD 30 Billion Merger of Borealis, Borouge OMV Aktiengesellschaft (WBAG:OMV) are exploring a combination of Borouge plc (ADX:BOROUGE) and Borealis AG to create a chemicals and plastics company worth more than $30 billion, people familiar with the matter said. The owners are discussing the potential valuation and ownership structure of a combined entity and may reach the broad outlines for formal merger negotiations in the coming weeks, according to the people. Talks have been on-and-off for several months and could still be delayed or fall apart, they said, asking not to be identified because deliberations are private. Borealis is 75% owned by OMV, with the remainder held by Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. Abu Dhabi-listed Borouge is itself a partnership between Adnoc and Borealis and has a market value of about $22 billion. The two parties are discussing a possible valuation of about $10 billion for Borealis, including its Borouge stake, the people said. After taking into account potential synergies, the overall valuation of the combined entity could exceed $30 billion, the people said. The exact value and ownership structure remain the two key hurdles for any agreement and may still change, they said. The Austrian side would also prefer to have the headquarters in Europe, where most of the operations are, even if the combined entity was listed in Abu Dhabi, the people said. Representatives for Adnoc and OMV declined to comment. Spokespeople for Borealis and Borouge referred queries to their owners. The Abu Dhabi firm is continuing its pursuit of a potential Covestro takeover and has been studying its next steps, according to people with knowledge of the matter. Adnoc is likely to decide as soon as the next couple weeks whether to increase its offer for Covestro, the people said. A spokesperson for Covestro declined to comment. Announcement • Jun 07
