Knauf to gain 100% ownership of USG Boral

Australia/Singapore: Knauf has agreed to buy Boral’s 50% stake in USG Boral for US$1.02bn, bringing its total stake in the former Boral and US-based USG joint venture to 100%. The joint-venture includes gypsum wallboard-based businesses in Australia, New Zealand, Asia and the Middle East. The deal is “subject to typical conditions precedent including in relation to regulatory matters.”

Boral chief executive officer (CEO) and managing director Zlatko Todorcevski said, “We have been working with Knauf for some time to find the best path forward for the business following Knauf’s acquisition of our joint venture partner USG. We recognise that it makes sense for Knauf – being the world’s largest gypsum wallboard player – to have 100% ownership of the business. USG Boral is a great business, and very well positioned to perform strongly under the ownership of Knauf. The strength of the joint venture business and its prospects are fully reflected in the sale price, as demonstrated by the attractive premium, which is a great outcome for Boral shareholders. The sale of Boral’s interest in USG Boral to Knauf will be a step to simplifying Boral’s geographic footprint and product portfolio.”
