In Brazil, Usinor takes control of a steelmaker
Article Abstract:
Usinor SA, a France-based manufacturer of steel, has signed an agreement to acquire a big stake in Brazil-based Acos Especiais Itabira SA, or Acesita, for 720 million reals, or $625.2 million. Under the deal, Usinor will acquire 49.9% stake of a holding company, where Acesita will move its CST stake for 448 million reals. Usinor will also control over 35% of Acesita's voting rights, and it will control the daily operations and industrial management of Acesita. Usinor originally offered 625 million reals in total for the stake, but the offer was raised to 720 million reals because of the emergence of a potential rival offer for Acesita, a steel maker.
