Aboitiz Equity eyes Lafarge's Philippine cement plants via deal with CRH

Philippines: Aboitiz Equity Ventures Inc has signed a deal with CRH, which when completed would allow it to join CRH in investing in the Philippine cement plants of Lafarge.

CRH had earlier agreed to buy for US$7.34bn in cement assets from Lafarge and Holcim Ltd, whose asset divestments are part of preconditions to winning regulatory approval for their merger. Both Lafarge and Holcim have cement assets in the Philippines. Aboitiz Equity plans to join CRH in acquiring a majority of the shares of Lafarge Republic Inc and the shares in Luzon Continental Land Corp and Lafarge Cement Services Philippines Inc, which constitute the majority of Lafarge's local cement operations.

Aboitiz Equity president Erramon Aboitiz said that if the deal with CRH is finalised, it would provide it with an investment that dovetails with its plan to invest in infrastructure development. The company is already in banking, property development, food manufacturing and power generation and distribution. "Venturing into infrastructure meets our growth criteria. We are very optimistic of the potential gains this new core business will bring to the Group amid the huge demand for infrastructure in the Philippines," said Aboitiz.

The conclusion of deal is subject to the successful completion of the merger between Lafarge and Holcim as well as approval by the boards of both CRH and Aboitiz Equity.
