On June 27, 2025 the Company completed the OCI Acquisition. The acquired business includes i) a 100% interest in one methanol facility, which also produces ammonia, and a 50% interest in a second methanol facility (Natgasoline) located in Beaumont, Texas, both of which have access to a stable and abundant supply of natural gas feedstock; ii) a 100% interest in low-carbon methanol production and marketing business; and iii) a 100% interest in a currently idled methanol facility in the Netherlands.
Total consideration was comprised of cash of $1.18 billion as per the purchase agreement and equity consideration of 9.9 million common shares, valued at $0.34 billion or $34.14 per share. Adjustments for debt and working capital have been finalized at $0.01 billion and $0.10 billion, respectively, which were settled in cash. Total consideration is based on the fair value of the business at the acquisition date. The Company funded the cash consideration through a combination of cash on hand and financing arrangements established in 2024 to support the OCI Acquisition. These arrangements included the issuance of $600 million in senior unsecured notes and a term loan on which $550 million was initially drawn. This purchase has been accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. No contingent consideration arrangements were part of the transaction.
The following table summarizes the fair value of identified assets and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. The allocation of consideration to identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed is considered final as of December 31, 2025.
