» CEDC Announces It Has Signed Share Purchase Agreement With Polish Treasury
» Ministry to Acquire 61% of Polmos Bialystok
»
» Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania: Central European Distribution Corporation,
» announced today that it has signed a share purchase agreement with the
» Polish Treasury Ministry to purchase 61% of the outstanding capital stock
» of Polmos Bialystok S.A., Poland's second largest producer of vodka, for a
» total purchase price of PLN 1.06 billion (approximately $312 million based
» on current exchange rate). The share purchase will be completed upon
» receipt of approvals from the Polish anti- monopoly office and the Polish
» securities and stock exchange commission. The acquisition is expected to
» close in the third quarter of 2005.
»
» We are currently arranging financing for the purchase price of the Polmos
» Bialystok shares. As provided for in the share purchase agreement, we
» deposited today PLN 100 million (approximately $29 million based on
» current exchange rate). This deposit will be credited towards the total
» purchase price or will be returned to us if the transaction has not closed
» during the next six months for reasons which are not attributable to us. In
» addition, in the share purchase agreement we agree that Polmos Bialystok
» will make certain investments consistent with its on-going business needs,
» including the construction of a spirits rectification unit.
»
» William Carey, Chairman and CEO, said, "We are very pleased that after 2
» years of working towards the finalization of the privatization of Polmos
» Bialystok, we have reached this important milestone with the Polish
» Treasury. We have also submitted the application last week to the Polish
» anti-monopoly office for approval, a process that takes approximately 60
» days. We still look to close this transaction during the 3rd quarter of
» this year, subject to anti-monopoly office approval.
»
» "With the closing of this acquisition, CEDC will control the number one
» vodka brand in Poland, Absolwent, as well as owning the Zubrowka
» trademark, one of the top 10 best selling domestic vodka brands and one of
» the fastest growing export brands. We look forward to working with existing
» Polmos Bialystok senior management to continue to expand the development of
» Polmos Bialystok's product portfolio domestically as well as
» internationally."
