Merger of two biggest fertiliser firms considered
Friday, August 17,2018AsemconnectVietnam - PetroVietnam is laying out plans to divest capital from the two biggest Vietnamese fertiliser companies – PetroVietnam Fertiliser & Chemicals Corp (DPM) and PetroVietnam Ca Mau Fertiliser Joint Stock Company (DCM) – to submit to authorities for consideration.
The divestment is part of PetroVietnam’s overhaul plan for 2017-25.
The Ministry of Finance had previously asked the group to adjust its holdings in the two companies to 36% by 2020.
Under the ministry’s guidance, PetroVietnam had completed a divestment draft, cutting its ownership in the two firms to 36% during 2018-20. To ensure efficient divestment, PetroVietnam was looking at all options, including consolidating the two companies, it said.
Under a direction issued by the Prime Minister on August 11, 2017, PetroVietnam will reduce its ownership in Ca Mau Fertiliser from 75.56% to 51% and in Fertiliser & Chemicals from 61.38% to 51% this year.
At the 2018 annual shareholders’ meetings of the two companies, PetroVietnam said it would complete the divestment schemes by year-end.
At Ca Mau Fertiliser, the group has set up a steering committee and signed contracts with consultancy firms to construct a pricing and timetable for the divestment.
