Hexion Holdings Completes Sale of Epoxy Businesses to Westlake Chemical
COLUMBUS, OH — Hexion Holdings Corp. has completed the sale of its epoxy-based Coatings and Composite businesses, which includes the epoxy specialty resins and base epoxy resins and intermediates product lines (together, the Epoxy Business), for approximately $1.2 billion to Westlake Chemical Corp. With the completion of the transaction, Hexion consists of the Company’s existing Adhesives and Versatic™ Acids and Derivatives product lines.
Commenting on the transaction, Craig Rogerson, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are pleased to complete the sale of our Epoxy Business as part of our strategic efforts to maximize value for our shareholders and take actions that are in the best interests of all of our stakeholders. On behalf of everyone at Hexion, I would like to thank the epoxy team again for their many contributions and I am confident they will have continued success with Westlake as Epoxy’s new owner.”
As previously announced in December 2021, Hexion Holdings entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by affiliates of American Securities LLC for $30.00 per share in cash. The closing of this transaction is conditioned upon the closing of the sale of the Epoxy business to Westlake Chemical Corp. and shareholder approval, which are both now complete, as well as regulatory approvals and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. The acquisition is expected to close in the first half of 2022.
