"After the extraordinary shareholder dividend of US$3.32 billion in November 2024, OCI has announced a further dividend of about US$1 billion to be paid during the first half of 2025, subject to continued progress on announced transactions and the strategic review. This leaves only about US$2 billion of proceeds eligible for reinvestment, and the company's capital allocation strategy remains unclear.
As a result, we lowered our long-term ratings on OCI N.V. and its senior secured notes 'BB+' from 'BBB-'. In addition, we assigned a recovery rating of '3' (65% recovery) to the US$600 million bond maturing in March 2033."
Dus S&P rekent met slechts $1 mrd + $2 mrd - $0,6 mrd = $2,4 mrd buiten European Nitrogen.
Ik meen dat Lamsrust (14 november 2024 17:53) op $1 mrd hoger uitkwam voor de cash.
En blijkbaar spreekt het niet vanzelf dat na het geplande $1 mrd dividend van 2025, de $1,4 mrd cash (+European Nitrogen) genoeg is om de bond van 0,6 mrd af te lossen.
Alsof OCI het bedrijf 100% kan liquideren en de opbrengst uitkeren zonder die lening af te lossen...
