Today, we have signed a contract to sell our Urethane Systems business to Japanese UBE Corporation with expected proceeds of around €500 million. This transaction marks our exit from the last remaining polymer business. The Urethane Systems business includes 5 manufacturing sites worldwide and application laboratories in the USA, Europe, and China. UBE Corporation will take over all operations, including around 400 employees. The proceeds from this transaction will be used to reduce our net debt, likely improving our leverage ratio (net debt / EBITDA pre) by ~0.5x. The transaction is subject to approval by the relevant authorities and is expected to close in the first half of 2025. Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eBXbpQFY
