Alcoa Corporation announced that it has signed a conditional share purchase agreement with private equity investment firm PARTER Capital Group AG, based in Schindellegi, Switzerland, to acquire the Alcoa Avilés and La Coru?a aluminum plants in Spain. The plants include the casthouses at both facilities and the paste plant at La Coru?a, which are currently in operation, and the two curtailed smelters.
Alcoa has reached an agreement with the workers’ representatives relating to a transaction between the Company and PARTER Capital Group AG. However, a final acquisition is subject to a buyer-provided credit facility to support future operations. If the acquisition cannot be completed by July 31, 2019 (extended from the original June 30, 2019 deadline), the collective dismissal and social plan are expected to go into effect on August 1, 2019.
Alcoa reached an agreement in January 2019 with the workers’ representatives at the two aluminum plants as part of the collective dismissal process announced in October 2018. As part of that agreement, the smelters, with combined operating capacity of 124,000 metric tons per year, were curtailed in February and maintained in restart condition, in the event that third parties had interest in acquiring the facilities.
Alcoa thanks the central government and those of Asturias and Galicia, as well as the workers’ representatives, for their ongoing support through this process.
