China: Asia Cement said that its subsidiary interest Sichuan Yadong Cement has entered into a framework agreement with the existing shareholders of Sichuan Lanfeng Cement to acquire their entire equity interest in Sichuan Lanfeng and thus indirectly the entire equity interest in Sichuan Lanfeng's wholly-owned subsidiary, Sichuan Lanfeng Building Materials.
The target companies principally engage in the manufacture and sale of cement, concrete and related products in Sichuan Province. They operate a cement plant located in Pengzhou City, Sichuan which comprises two new dry process clinker production lines with a total cement production capacity of 5Mt/yr.
The parties are expected to sign the formal sale and purchase agreement before 16 April 2014.
