BASF launches takeover gambit at Evonik as CEO Kullmann is out

BASF has made an offer for Evonik that Evonik has already rejected; talks focus on about €22.15 per share or a share swap. Decisive now is the RAG-Stiftung as the largest shareholder with roughly 43 percent, which could reduce or sell its stake and whose board of trustees is politically appointed. A possible deal would also trigger an extensive merger review in Brussels and could have far-reaching consequences for competition and jobs. » More on manager-magazin.de
BASF takeover plans for Evonik threaten thousands of jobs, especially in Marl and Essen

BASF has put forward an initial formal offer for Evonik of €22.15 per share, which Evonik rejected, but negotiations are not over. If a takeover succeeds, advisers expect up to 3,000 further job cuts at Evonik, mainly at the Marl and Essen sites; other plants in Dossenheim, Hanau, Wesseling and Rheinfelden would also be at risk. Synergies of around €300 million per year are expected, while politicians, unions and competition authorities could force interventions or divestments. » More on wiwo.de
BASF plans takeover of Evonik – decision rests with RAG-Stiftung

BASF wants to take over Evonik; including debt the deal would cost at least €14 billion and envisages a reported cash offer of €22.15 per share, but the share price is below that. The RAG-Stiftung will decide on the sale, giving politics a central role because the supervisory board includes ministers and union representatives. The foundation must weigh whether Evonik as an independent company would pay more sustainable dividends and secure the perpetual costs of mining; Evonik has tied its dividend to profit performance. Analysts see strategic complementarities in the product portfolios, but warn that any takeover is likely to result in job losses. » More on faz.net
