Huntsman-Clariant Present First Update on Merger Clariant (Muttenz, Switzerland) and Huntsman International LLC (The Woodlands, Texas) recently presented the first merger update for shareholders. Huntsman also recently announced a subsidiary company’s IPO. The merger is proceeding as planned, with continuing signs of strong progress toward the slated closing date, which is projected for December 2017 or January 2018. For the foreseeable future, both companies have agreed to a joint strategic direction in order to create short- and longterm value. This will be based in a focus on higher growth, as well as higher margin businesses. There will also be steps taken to ensure organic sales revenue growth of 2 percent p.a. at approximately 20 percent EBITDA margin, with synergies totaling to an excess of $400 million as well as $25 million in terms of a tax saving target. Complementary benefits will come as a result of the companies’ performance products, care chemicals and natural resources. In total, these represent roughly 35 percent of the combined sales for HuntsmanClariant, as well as a broad

Huntsman announced last week that subsidiary company Venator Materials PLC has launched its initial public offering and will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange this month. According to the Houston Chronicle, the IPO for the new pigments business totals nearly $500 million.
