Babcock & Wilcox Enterprises, Inc. (“B&W” or the
“Company”) (NYSE: BW) announced today it has reached an agreement
to sell its Italy-based SPIG S.p.A. (SPIG) group of companies and
Sweden-based Babcock & Wilcox Vølund AB formerly known as
G�taverken Milj� AB (GMAB) to funds managed by AUCTUS Capital
Partners AG, a European private equity firm, for approximately $40
million, subject to customary adjustments and expenses. The deal is
expected to close at the end of October and is subject to the
satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
“This sale aligns with our previously-announced strategy to
divest certain non-core businesses and assets to reduce our debt,
improve our balance sheet and increase liquidity,” Kenneth Young,
B&W Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said. “Moving
forward, we continue to see steadily increasing global demand for
B&W’s core portfolio of technologies that support increased
global energy demand from utilities and various industries.”
“We also are continuing to advance our core Thermal, Renewable
and Environmental technologies globally. We also continue to invest
in our new technologies, including BrightLoop™ and ClimateBright™,
and are beginning execution of multiple commercial projects,” Young
said. “In addition, we’re supporting U.S. customers with our
proven, reliable technologies as demand for coal-to-natural-gas
conversions grows in response to the increased need for emissions
reductions while maintaining reliable baseload energy generation.
We look forward to moving forward with these and other projects to
deliver environmentally conscious, technology driven solutions that
support the global need for reliable, accessible and affordable
energy.”
