15 December 2020

The Valor Econômico newspaper reported that the company will reorganise its shareholding when it creates a publically-traded subsidiary for the business. In October 2020 the group filed an IPO with the Securities and Exchange Commission of Brazil for the sale of its mining division by mid-February 2021.

Chief financial Officer Marcelo Ribeiro said, “The opportunity to expand the unit is materialising more and more, but the truth is the decision to expand will be made once the market firms up, which is expected to happen.”

Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission investigates Aramit Cement’s interest-free loan to sister company

16 November 2020

Bangladesh: The Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) has written to Aramit Cement to seek an explanation for the company’s transfer of around US$9m as an interest-free loan to a sister company. The Dhaka Tribune newspaper says that the cement producer reported a loss in the financial year to 30 June 2020 and issued no dividend to its shareholders. However, had the company charged 10% interest on the loan, it could enabled the payment of a 20% cash dividend to shareholders. BSEC subsequently sought information on loans to associated companies.

Company secretary Syed Kamruzzaman said, “The board of directors would explain the issue to the BSEC soon.” The BSEC has ordered a refund of the loan along with interest by the end of November 2020.

Finland: Metso and Outotec have agreed to merge Metso Minerals and Outotec to create a company specialising in process technology, equipment and services serving the minerals, metals and aggregates industries.

The current chief executive officer (CEO) of Metso, Pekka Vauramo, will become Metso Outotec’s CEO, and the current CEO of Outotec, Markku Teräsvasara, will become the Deputy CEO of Metso Outotec.

It is proposed that Metso Outotec’s chairman will be Mikael Lilius and that the Vice Chairman will be Matti Alahuhta.

“Today is an exciting day as we announce the transformational combination of two great companies and simultaneously create an independent leader in flow control.
