NAIROBI, Kenya, July 9 – The World’s largest cement maker based in Switzerland, Holcim has ruled out plans for a take-over in the intended indirect acquisition of Kenya’s listed Bamburi Cement Limited.
In a statement on Wednesday Holcim said if it successfully merged with France-based cement firm Lafarge SA, which has a 58.6 controlling stake in Bamburi Cement, it will not issue a take-over offer to Bamburi Cement.
“We have no intention of making a take-over offer for BCL,” Holcim said.
Instead, each Lafarge shareholder would receive an equal number of newly issued ordinary shares of Holcim in a public exchange offer.
Receive with simplicity everything that happens to you.” ― Rashi
