Trinidad’s Readmix goes private

July 14, 2017 by

TCL now has 97.23% of Readymix shares.

Trinidad Cement (TCL) acquired most of the shares of Readymix following the offer to minority shareholders to buy out their shares at TT$11 each.
Following the offer TCL now owns 97.23 percent of the Readymix shares. TCL in a recent release advised the minority shareholders that they can still sell their shares to the company and they also advised that an application was made to the Trinidad Stock Exchange to have the Readymix shares delisted.
Readymix has struggled to make a profit recently and with the Trinidad economy in recession, the situation became worse and would require finding areas of cost to cut to get the operations into a state of minimal cost. Acquisition of all the shares would end up reducing cost in a number of areas.
