| Synopsis |
|
Sociedad de Inversiones Oro Blanco (BCS:ORO BLANCO), a Chile-based investment manager, may have received bids from three companies averaging USD 1.8bn for the acquisition of Sociedad de Inversiones Pampa Calichera (BCS:CALICH), reported Diario Financiero on 9 September 2016, citing sources close to the process. Specifically, one of the confirmed bidders was China-based Tianqi Lithium (SZSE:002466), reported Bloomberg on 8 September, citing a company statement. Tianqi submitted a non-binding bid of an undisclosed sum to acquire a majority stake in Pampa Calichera, which, in turn, holds approximately 23% of SQM (BCS:SQM-A, SQM-B; NYSE:SQM), one of its biggest competitors. The identity of the other two bidders was not disclosed, though China-based Ningbo Shanshan (SSE:600884) may have also submitted a bid, though it had announced at the end of August it was dropping from the race (see related intel). However, Oro Blanco could take a few months to analyze each bid in depth and decide which is most convenient, though the process would continue to be open to receiving new proposals, reported Reuters Latin America on 9 September. Oro Blanco launched the sale process in December 2015 (see related intel).
