Tega Industries Ltd on Wednesday (September 10) said its board has approved a term sheet to acquire Molycop, a global leader in mining consumables, in partnership with Apollo Funds. The deal is valued at around $1.5 billion and represents one of the largest overseas acquisitions by an Indian company in the mining solutions space.
According to the company’s exchange filing, the acquisition will be executed through a special purpose vehicle (SPV) jointly formed by Tega and Apollo Funds. The consortium will purchase 100% of AIP MC Holdings LLC and its subsidiaries, which operate under the Molycop brand.
The consideration for the proposed acquisition will be entirely in cash. The deal is subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions, with completion targeted by December 31, 2025.
Upon closure, Tega Industries will become the controlling shareholder of Molycop, while Apollo Funds will hold a significant minority equity stake.
Mehul Mohanka, Managing Director and Group CEO of Tega Industries, told CNBC TV18:
“With this strategic acquisition, and in partnership with Apollo Funds, we will accelerate innovation, greatly expand market reach, and create significant value for our customers.”
Jim Anderson, CEO of Molycop, added:
“Joining forces with Tega and Apollo Funds will open up an exciting new chapter for Molycop. The synergy is clear to see. Our shared values and complementing strengths will help us accelerate our strategy, innovate better, and serve customers across the globe more effectively.”
