苏伊士收购其原在英国的固废业务
近日,苏伊士已与威立雅签署了一项不可撤销的出售选择权协议,将由苏伊士以20亿英镑的企业价值收购其原在英国的固废业务(“苏伊士英国固废与资源管理公司”),以兑现威立雅向英国竞争和市场管理局做出的一项承诺。
苏伊士于8月8日宣布收购上述资产意向,并行使此前与威立雅订立的全球协议项下所规定的优先购买权,此后做出该收购决定。
该收购交易将巩固苏伊士的固废管理业务,并提高其国际业务占比,这也是苏伊士落实其股东联合体所批准的集团战略所迈出的重要一步。苏伊士英国固废与资源管理公司是英国第三大固废回收和资源化利用公司,在按照英国最新国家监管政策开发新的固废处理业务方面具有独特的优势地位。该公司服务的工业及市政客户超过2.5万,拥有约6000名员工,营业额逾9亿英镑。
经协商,苏伊士的工会组织一致批准了这项收购。苏伊士的各股东方——法国投资基金Meridiam、私募股权公司GIP、法国存托银行CDG和法国国家人寿保险公司都对该交易给予了充分的支持。
这项收购已获得苏伊士董事会一致批准通过,有待获得相关监管机构的批准。
苏伊士首席执行官苏冰岚表示:“此次收购苏伊士英国固废与资源管理公司将对苏伊士的战略提供有力支撑,有助于强化我们的固废处理业务并扩大集团全球化的布局。此次收购再次彰显了苏伊士股东方对集团的信任:我们拥有发展所需的资本和与客户共同投资所需的资源。”
