Tredegar Corporation (NYSE:TG) announced today that Brazil’s Administrative Council for Economic Defense (“CADE”) approved a merger control agreement allowing Tredegar to proceed with the sale of Terphane, its flexible packaging business headquartered in Brazil, to Oben Group. The conditions contained in the merger control agreement, mainly comprised of post-closing commitments for Oben to address certain competition concerns, are expected to be met with closing of the transaction planned for November 1, 2024.

On September 1, 2023, Tredegar entered into an agreement to sell Terphane to Oben for net cash-free and debt-free base consideration of $116 million. Tredegar expects to realize after-tax net cash-free and debt-free cash proceeds from completion of the transaction of $85 million (after deducting projected Brazil withholding taxes, net working capital adjustments, escrow funds, US capital gains taxes and transaction expenses), including $78 million at closing and $7 million from the release of certain escrow funds within 120 days of closing (the “Post-Closing Review Period”). Expected amounts are based on Terphane’s estimated closing balance sheet, which are subject to change based on any revisions to estimates before closing and the actual closing balance sheet compiled during the Post-Closing Review Period.

Tredegar is an industrial manufacturer with three primary businesses: custom aluminum extrusions for the North American building & construction, automotive and specialty end-use markets; surface protection films for high technology applications in the global electronics industry; and specialized polyester films primarily for the Latin American flexible packaging market. Tredegar had 2023 sales of $705 million. With approximately 1,900 employees, Tredegar operates manufacturing facilities in North America, South America, and Asia.

Oben is an important player in the market of inputs for the flexible packaging industry with more than 32 years of experience in the production of state-of-the-art flexible films having strategic locations in more than 17 countries with sales to more than 40 countries in the Americas, Europe and Africa. It has a diversified portfolio that includes BOPP, BOPET, BOPE, BOPA, CPP, Extrusion Coated as well as Thermoformed Products.
