Joint press release of IMetal and ArcelorMittal
7 October 2015 - ArcelorMittal and IMETAL,
an Algerian state-owned company, have reached an outline agreement for the restructuring of the shareholding of the companies ArcelorMittal
Algeria, ArcelorMittal Pipes and Tubes Algeria and ArcelorMittal Tébessa.
The restructuring follows the strategy
of the Algerian Government to ensure the promotion and development of the national steel industry and to promote self-sufficiency
in steel. The restructuring is aligned with ArcelorMittal’s strategy of asset portfolio optimisation.
The restructuring plan will see ArcelorMittal
transfer its minority shareholding in both ArcelorMittal Algeria and ArcelorMittal Tebessa as well as its majority participation
in ArcelorMittal Pipes & Tubes Algeria, with the state of Algeria controlling the full shareholding of these entities. Furthermore,
ArcelorMittal will continue its technical support for the successful implementation of El Hadjar Complex development plan.
The parties aim to finalise the agreements
within the coming weeks. The agreement will reinforce the Annaba development plan and mining operations in Tebessa and will ensure
their long term sustainability.
Commenting on the announcement, Davinder
Chugh, member of ArcelorMittal’s Group Management Board, said: “We are pleased to have reached this agreement with
the Algerian Government, with whom we have always enjoyed a strong relationship. The agreement will enable ArcelorMittal Algeria,
ArcelorMittal Pipes and Tubes Algeria and ArcelorMittal Tebessa to play a long term role in Algeria’s steel and mining industries.
We now look forward to supporting the Algerian Government in implementing a plan that is in the interests of both the company and
the country.”
“This agreement
will allow the Algerian party to have total control of the three companies ArcelorMittal Algeria, ArcelorMittal Pipes and Tubes
Algeria and ArcelorMittal Tébessa which will facilitate decision making and mobilisation in particular of financial resources
to ensure the success of the revamping and the start-up of operations in good conditions.
This agreement will also help to stabilise
the social climate at the three companies to improve their profitability and preserve jobs.” commented Abdessalam Bouchouareb,
Minister of Industry and Mines, Algeria.
The two parties agree to continue their
collaboration in order to ensure the success of the development plans of the three companies ArcelorMittal Algeria, ArcelorMittal
Pipes and Tubes Algeria and ArcelorMittal Tébessa.
