Sasol to sell 30% stake in Mozambique's Rompco in $364M deal
Sasol (NYSE:SSL) agrees to sell a 30% stake in the Republic of Mozambique Pipeline Investments Co. for up to 5.145B South African rand ($364M) to a consortium of African-based investment firms.
Sasol will retain a 20% shareholding in Rompco and continue to operate and maintain the pipeline; the South African and Mozambican governments each own 25% stakes.
The deal is part of an asset sale program intended to help Sasol reduce borrowings that expanded amid cost overruns at its U.S. chemicals project.
Sasol recently agreed to sell its 49% stake in a gas-fired power plant in Mozambique for $145M.
