据安迅思10月28日消息称，伊士曼化工公司周四表示，该公司已达成一项最终协议，以10亿美元的价格将其黏合剂树脂资产和业务出售给英国化学品公司Synthomer。
销售的产品包括碳氢树脂、纯单体树脂、聚烯烃聚合物、松香和分散剂以及油化和脂肪酸基树脂产品系列。
最终购买价格须受营运资金和其他结算时的调整影响。目前，总销售价格相当于黏合剂树脂业务过去12个月经调整的息税折旧及摊销前利润(EBITDA)的11倍。
伊士曼预计，在2022年，此次出售对调整后的每股收益而言将是中性的。
首席执行官Mark Costa说：“除了剥离轮胎添加剂业务，此次出售也是我们努力改善添加剂和功能产品部门业绩的一部分。”
他补充道:“我们将继续专注于和AFP一起利用我们的创新驱动战略发展我们的专业业务，并实现强劲的盈利增长。”
该交易需经监管机构批准和其他常规成交条件，包括适用司法管辖区的员工代表咨询。
从2021年第四季度开始到出售为止，胶粘剂业务的资产将被报告为持有待售。
此次出售预计将于 2022 年第一季度完成。
