BASF places around 133 million Harbour shares and continues exit

BASF sold about 133 million Harbour shares in an accelerated bookbuild; Harbour Energy will buy back around 53 million of those shares and 80 million will go to institutional investors. The buyback can amount to up to $200 million and will, if applicable, be offset against Harbour’s ongoing buyback program; the repurchased shares are to be cancelled. After the deal BASF still holds roughly 25% of Harbour and thus continues its planned gradual exit from the financial stake; BASF had already sold a larger share in March. In the short term BASF also benefits from chemical supply bottlenecks caused by the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, which supports its business situation. » More on deraktionaer.de
