沙特阿美690亿美元完成收购70%的SABIC股份

据俄罗斯油气网6月15日消息称，沙特阿美公司完成了完成了收购沙特基础工业公司(SABIC) 21亿股(70%)股份的交易。

这笔交易是沙特Tadawul交易所4笔交易的一部分。该交易总额为2591.25亿里亚尔，合691亿美元(32.8美元/股)。这些股份由沙特阿拉伯主权基金(公共投资基金，PIF)出售，SABIC的其余30%仍由PIF控制。

这项收购于2019年3月宣布，有望成为全球油气行业最大的并购交易之一。然而，一年多来，市场形势发生了巨大变化，在石油市场崩溃的大背景下，SABIC市值下跌了40%以上。据路透社报道，2020年5月，沙特阿美正在考虑重组该交易。不过，交易价格显然没有改变，但不清楚在PIF支付的结构是否已经修改。为落实交易，沙特阿美在2020年吸引了100亿美元的贷款资金。

SABIC是世界上规模第四的石化公司。对SABIC 70%的收购符合沙特阿美的长期战略，该战略旨在通过到2030年将其炼油能力从490万桶/天增加到800-1000万桶/天来刺激增长。在计划的800-1000万桶/天的石油中，200-300万桶/天将用于石化生产。

Saudi Aramco Acquires 70% SABIC for $ 69 Billion

Saudi Aramco completed a deal to acquire 2.1 billion shares (70%) of Saudi Basic Industries Corp (SABIC).

The purchase was made as part of 4 transactions on the Saudi Tadawul exchange. The deal amounted to 259.125 billion riyals or 69.1 billion US dollars (32.8 US dollars / share). The shares were sold by the Saudi Arabia Sovereign Fund (Public Investment Fund, PIF), the remaining 30% of SABIC remain under the control of PIF.

The purchase was announced in March 2019, promising to become one of the largest M&A deals in the global oil and gas industry. However, the market situation has changed dramatically for more than a year, and against the backdrop of the collapse of the oil market, the market value of SABIC fell by more than 40%. According to Reuters, in May 2020, Saudi Aramco was considering restructuring the deal. However, apparently, the transaction price has not changed, but it is unclear whether the structure for making payments in PIF has been revised. To implement the transaction, Saudi Aramco in 2020 attracted $ 10 billion of loan funds.

SABIC is the 4 th in size petrochemical company in the world. Acquisition of 70% SABIC corresponds to a long-term strategy for Saudi Aramco, aimed to stimulate growth by increasing the portfolio of oil refining capacities from 4.9 to 8-10 million barrels per day of oil by 2030. Of the planned 8-10 million barrels per day of oil, 2-3 million barrels per day will be used for petrochemical production.
