打印中國鐵合金網訊：2016年11月15日北京時間晚上10點，澳大利亞CML礦業公司對外宣布，其和寧夏天元錳業集團簽署《股份收購協議》。天元錳業成功收購了CML 礦業公司,CML大股東和其他股東和天元錳業達成一致意見，天元錳業收購了CML所有的股權和資產，
CML公司負責人表示這一收購意義深遠。天元錳業是CML的最大客戶，也是世界上最大的電解錳生產商。天元錳業表示愿意投資錳礦基礎設施，支持CML的加納項目。CML認為這將增強CML的錳礦出口能力，滿足市場對高品質加納錳礦的需求。
當然，這一《股份收購協議》的履行有很多前提條件，比如：需要政府批準；持有2020年到期的4億美元票據的債權人批準；CML的子公司MTL與Grizal公司簽署的《承購協議》的履行等。
如果以上條件在6個月內不能實現，《股份收購協議》就會中止。如果出現以上情況，天元錳業和CML可能會協議延長合同履行日期。
天元錳業公司董事長賈天將說：“我們很高興能夠投資CML，希望與現有的管理團隊合作，開發CML公司的錳礦項目，為股東創造利潤。”
CML公司的股東Gennadiy Bogolyubov說：“天元錳業投資CML，我很高興。天元錳業是CML的最大客戶，在行業內有豐富經驗。我相信天元錳業收購之后，CML將會準確定位，取得下一個階段的增長。”

Consolidated Minerals acquired by the world’s largest electrolytic manganese metals producer
Consolidated Minerals is pleased to announce that it has been agreed that it will be acquired by the world’s largest electrolytic manganese metals producer
On 15 November 2016, Consolidated Minerals’ (“Consmin”, the “Group” or the “Company”) ultimate beneficial owner and direct shareholders (“Sellers”) entered into a share purchase agreement (“SPA”) with China Tian Yuan Manganese Limited中國天元錳業有限公司 (“Purchaser”), a subsidiary of Ningxia Tianyuan Manganese Industry Co., Ltd. (“TMI”) pursuant to which the Sellers agreed to sell and transfer to the Purchaser all of their respective right and title to both the entire share capital of the Company and the shareholders funding given by them to the Company (the “Transaction”).
The Transaction
The directors of ConsMin believe that the acquisition of the Company by the Purchaser will provide significant benefits to the Company. The Purchaser is a subsidiary of TMI, the Company’s largest customer and the world’s largest electrolytic manganese metals (EMM) producer. TMI has indicated its willingness to invest significant resources in developing the infrastructure supporting ConsMin’s Ghanaian operations. Such investment will allow the Company to further increase the manganese ore export capacity to meet expected increasing demand for Ghanaian quality manganese ore.
The Transaction is conditional upon a number of conditions which are set out in the SPA, including, but not limited to:
certain government consents;
certain consents from the holders of the then outstanding US$400,000,000 8% Senior Secured Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”); and
the execution of an offtake agreement between Manganese Trading Limited (“MTL”), a subsidiary of ConsMin, and Grizal Enterprises Limited (a “Seller” in the Transaction) (“Grizal”) which will become effective simultaneously with completion of the Transaction (the “Offtake Agreement”).
If the conditions to the Transaction are not satisfied or waived within the period of six months from 15 November 2016 (the “Longstop Date”), the SPA shall terminate and the Transaction will not complete. The Purchaser and the ultimate beneficial owner of the Company may agree to extend the Longstop Date. Should the Longstop Date be extended, then the Company shall make a further announcement to include the revised Longstop Date.
The Company intends to solicit holders of the Notes for any required consents by initiating a consent process as soon as practicable.
Offtake Agreement
The Offtake Agreement provides that Grizal may, in its absolute discretion, purchase from MTL, in any calendar year, not more than 600,000 MT +/- 10% of Ghanaian Manganese Ore (the “Product”) for a period of ten (10) years from completion of the Transaction, subject to the terms and conditions of the Offtake Agreement. The provisional price for the Product is based upon market rates, subject to a discount depending on price achieved and deductions based on quality of the delivered Product.
Mr Tianjiang Jia, the President of TMI said, “We are excited to invest in Consolidated Minerals and look forward to partnering with the existing management team in developing the company’s operations for the benefit of all stakeholders”.
Mr Gennadiy Bogolyubov, the ultimate beneficial owner of the Company added, “I am delighted that TMI wish to invest in ConsMin. TMI, as ConsMin’s largest customer, has extensive experience in this industry and I believe that ConsMin will be well-positioned to achieve its next phase of growth and development under the ownership of TMI after the Transaction.”
