The Carlyle Group Acquires Chemicals Distribution Company Neochimiki for an Enterprise Value of €749 Million

09 May, 2008

Global private equity firm The Carlyle Group today announced that it has acquired 73.54% of the shares of Neochimiki L.V. Lavrentiadis S.A. Industrial and Commercial Company (ATHEX ticker: NEOCHI) for €19 per share in several block trades over the Athens Stock Exchange and will subsequently launch a mandatory tender offer for the remaining outstanding shares and will take all other measures available under applicable Greek laws to acquire all the shares of Neochimiki at the same price. 20% of the shares were acquired from Lavrentis Lavrentiadis, former Chairman and CEO and son of the founder of Neochimiki, with the remaining shares having been acquired from several international institutional shareholders. The transaction implies an enterprise value of €749 million. Neochimiki is an independent chemicals company headquartered in Palaio Faliro, Athens, Greece, focused both on the distribution of chemical raw materials sourced from a wide network of large multinational chemicals suppliers and the production and distribution of fertilizers and raw materials for the coatings industry. Through its strong infrastructure network, Neochimiki serves more than 8,000 customers in a large variety of sectors such as the home, personal care, food, coatings, base oils and rubbers, construction, agriculture and automotive industries. Established in 1974, Neochimiki has grown to become one of the largest Greek companies active both in chemicals distribution and production and is currently rapidly expanding into surrounding geographies with a particular focus on the high growth Balkan markets.

ΠΟΙΑ ΜΕΓΑΛΑ ΑΦΕΝΤΙΚΑ ΔΟΥΛΕΥΑΝ Η ΔΟΥΛΕΥΟΥΝ ΓΙΑ ΤΗΝ CARLYLE GROUP

The Big Guys Work For The Carlyle Group
What exactly does it do?

FORTUNE Monday, March 18, 2002

By Melanie Warner

Are you the sort of person who believes in conspiracies–the Trilateral Commission secretly runs the world, that sort of thing? Well, then, here’s a company for you. The Carlyle Group, a Washington, D.C., buyout firm, is one of the nation’s largest defense contractors. It has billions of dollars at its disposal and employs a few important people. Maybe you’ve heard of them: former Secretary of State Jim Baker, former Secretary of Defense Frank Carlucci, and former White House budget director Dick Darman. Wait, we’re just getting warmed up. William Kennard, who recently headed the FCC, and Arthur Levitt, who just left the SEC, also work for Carlyle. As do former British Prime Minister John Major and former Philippines President Fidel Ramos. Let’s see, are we forgetting anyone? Oh, right, former President George Herbert Walker Bush is on the payroll too.

The firm also has about a dozen investors from Saudi Arabia, including, until recently, the bin Laden family. Yes, those bin Ladens. Is it any wonder that Internet sites with names like paranoiamagazine.com are rife with stories about Carlyle’s shadowy, corrupt global network? And it’s not just wackos. «Be careful,» a tech entrepreneur in Silicon Valley wrote in an e-mail when he learned I was doing a story on Carlyle. «The rabbit hole runs really deep on this one.»
