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. Ankündigung • Jun 03
