The board of directors of Japan's Nissan Steel Corp. (5401.TO,
NISTY) has given its approval to the purchase of shares in its
Brazilian affiliate, Usinas Siderurgicas de Minas Gerais SA
(USIM5.BR, USZNY) by Argentine-Italian group Techint, according to
Usiminas.
Nippon Steel group, the largest single shareholder in Usiminas,
has "obtained all requisite corporate approvals" for the
transaction announced on Nov. 27, said Ternium SA (TX), one of
Techint's units, in a statement.
On that day, Techint companies including Ternium, Tenaris SA
(TS) and TenarisConfab agreed to buy a 28% stake in Usiminas for
about $2.7 billion. The shares will mostly be bought from two
existing shareholders, Camargo Correa and Votorantim, which have
said they want to focus on other businesses.
Usiminas, as the Brazilian steelmaker is known, said a final
agreement for the transaction should be wrapped up in mid-January,
as previously announced.
As part of the transaction, Nippon Steel plans to increase its
stake in Usiminas, buying a further 8.5 million ordinary shares
from the Usiminas employees' union, Caixa dos Empregados
Usiminas.
