（柏林11日讯）消息说，新加坡淡马锡控股（Temasek）将以6亿欧元（24亿令吉）买下德国赢创工业（Evonik Industries）的5%股权。

知情人士透露，这家计划在4月底挂牌上市的德国化学公司，同意将股权卖给淡马锡控股，后者也同意这项交易。

不过，淡马锡控股发言人不愿证实消息。

据报道，持有赢创工业75%股权的RAG信托，以及持其余25%股权的CVC资金合伙人上月表示，机构投资者已同意在该公司首次售股前拿下一些股权。

据了解，赢创工业的估值约140亿欧元（566亿令吉）。[南洋网财经]

Mon, 11 Mar 20:22  
Evonik Industries AG’s owners have agreed to sell a 4.6% stake in the German chemical maker to Singapore’s Temasek Holdings ahead of a fourth attempt at an initial public offering.

The state-owned investment company worked with HSBC Holdings Plc on the transaction, said a person with knowledge of the situation who asked not to be identified. Temasek spokesman Stephen Forshaw confirmed the sale, though declined to give more details. WirtschaftsWoche reported Temasek paid 600 million euros ($975 million) for a 5% stake.

The purchase reflects Temasek’s strategy to have industrial and consumer investments in areas from chemicals used in cosmetics to department stores. The sovereign wealth fund is among 15 investors buying almost one-third of a CVC Capital Partners.-led offering of PT Matahari Department Store shares, said a person familiar with the deal today.

Evonik’s owners, RAG-Stiftung and CVC Capital Partners, are selling less than 10% of their combined holdings in a private transaction to broaden the investor base and highlight potential interest in the company. The deals value Evonik at about 14 billion euros, according to a person with knowledge of the transaction at the time.

Both partners sold an equal amount in the private placement. The purchase price was above the indicative offers received for the company in June’s listing attempt and is in line with the valuation of specialty chemical peers, Evonik said in February. Both local and international investors took part in the sale, advised by MainFirst Bank AG.

Evonik Industries AG, a German specialty chemicals maker, said its owners sold a 12% stake in the company to institutional investors, paving the way for a fourth attempt to sell shares to the public.

Owners RAG Stiftung and CVC Capital Partners sold an equal amount of shares in private placements that began in February, Essen-based Evonik said today, without disclosing the purchase price. Evonik’s shareholders were planning to sell shares at a price that valued the whole business at about 14 billion euros ($18.2 billion), a person familiar with the deal said last month.

Evonik, a candidate to join Germany’s benchmark DAX index, has postponed its share sale three times because of volatile markets. Temasek Holdings, Singapore’s state-owned investment company, agreed to buy 4.6%, Temasek spokesman Stephen Forshaw said yesterday.

“We will now move ahead towards the listing together with our owners,” Evonik Chief Executive Officer Klaus Engel said today at a press conference in Essen.

Adjusted earnings before interest and tax in the fourth quarter fell 3% to 336 million euros, Evonik also said. Sales dropped 2% to 3.27 billion euros. Revenue will probably rise in 2013 and operating profit will remain at about the same level as last year, Evonik forecast.

Evonik is planning to dispose of its real-estate assets which have been combined with apartments belonging to the IG BCE union into a company called Vivawest. RAG-Stiftung plans to take 30% of Vivawest and Evonik will place a further 25% in its pension fund. IG BCE will hold 26.8%.

Evonik said it plans to divest the remaining Vivawest shares to investors with a long-term investment horizon in the mid-term.

RAG Stiftung, a foundation that’s charged with winding down Germany’s deep-shaft coal mines, has earmarked proceeds from the share sale to pay for costs related to closing the mines. Before the sale to institutional investors, RAG Stiftung owned 75% of Evonik, while CVC, a U.K. buyout firm, held 25%.
