Venator Materials Aktie

The International Chemical Investors Group (ICIG) has taken over the Venator plant in Duisburg, which has been insolvent since September 2025, securing around 350 jobs and ensuring the continuation of production of additives and nano products. The acquisition is still subject to approval by the Bundeskartellamt. ICIG plans to maintain existing structures, expand production under brands such as Sachtolith and Blanc Fixem, and pursue a strategic further development of the site. The transaction prevents high decommissioning costs for the 800,000-square-metre site and provides service providers and business partners with planning security. » More on wiwo.de

S&P Global Ratings downgraded Venator Materials from CCC to D on Sept. 2 following the appointment of insolvency administrators and lowered the ratings for senior loans ($200m due 2026 and $175m due 2028) to D. It subsequently withdrew all ratings, saying there was insufficient information for ongoing surveillance. The administrators are expected to push for the sale of the U.K. sites Greatham, Wynyard and Birtley. S&P anticipates potential breaches of loan covenants and believes Venator has suspended payments as part of the insolvency process, including likely no interest payment in October on the $175m loan. » More on de.investing.com
