安道麦表示，其股东正在探索与在深圳证券交易所上市的中国领先的作物保护生产商湖北沙隆达股份有限公司的潜在合并，这将使合并后的公司实现全面整合和公开上市。
“As a result, Adama is expected to be able to achieve two key pillars of its strategy – integration with Chinese agrochemical businesses that are part of the ChemChina group, and flotation on one of the world’s largest stock exchanges. The combination will allow Adama to accelerate its China integration, which it has been pursuing in recent years,” the company said in a statement.
The potential transaction is intended to be accomplished through the issuance of new shares by Sanonda to the existing owners of Adama – CNAC, ChemChina’s strategic business division the controlling shareholder of Adama, and Koor of Israel’s IDB Group – in exchange for their ownership stakes in Adama. Sanonda is currently controlled by CNAC, which owns approximately 20.15% of the shares of Sanonda. Adama also holds an approximately 10.6% stake in Sanonda, which it acquired during 2013.
作为预期交易的一部分，安道麦表示正在考虑出售其持有的沙隆达股份，并向其现有股东分配大量股息。
According to Chinese securities law requirements, trading in Sanonda’s shares was suspended as of August 5, 2015.
预期交易的谈判和批准过程预计需要几个月的时间，在此期间将考虑交易的所有相关方面。关于谈判是否会达成具有约束力的协议、此类协议的确切结构和条款及其对公司的影响，仍存在不确定性。
