Oltchim privatization strategy announced
The investor which takes over Oltchim Ramnicu Valcea will have to pay company debts to the state budget and insure the complete payment of overdue installments relevant to external loans. The Ministry of Economy and Commerce (MEC) has established the stages for the privatization process of Oltchim and the recovery of company debts held by the Authority for the Recovery of State Assets (AVAS), to be presented to the government under the form of an emergency ordinance. In the first stage, a 2003 decision to convert a 95.2 million dollar debt into shares will be overruled. That decision has led to MEC holding a 95.7 percent stake in the company.

The overruling will lead to AVAS regaining the debt and partially collecting it through public auction sale of assets not involved in the production process. The remaining debt, up to 95.2 million dollars should be fully paid by the investor that acquires Oltchim. The privatization contract will also provide a commitment for the buyer, as a majority shareholder, to pay in full and on time the installments for external loans guaranteed by the state and payments phased until October 31, 2009. Debts related to external loans amount to 50.7 million dollars and are expected to increase by October 2009 to about 70 million dollars if Oltchim does not make its regular payments. Oltchim Ramnicu Valcea estimates a net profit of about 12.5 million euros for 2006, almost double the 2005 figure, and a turnover of approximately 500 million, up 23 percent from last year. Several companies, including Vienna Capital Partners investment fund and the main Polish oil company PKN Orlen have shown their interest in taking over Oltchim.
