September 5th, 2015
Keppel Offshore & Marine USA(KOM), subsidiary of Singapore’s Keppel Corporation, said it is going to acquire Cameron’s LETOURNEAU rig design and rig kit business for an aggregate cash consideration of USD 100 million.
The book value and net tangible asset value of the two LETOURNEAU business units as at June 30 2015, were approximately USD 87 million and USD 63 million respectively. Upon completion of the transaction, KOM USA will hold a 100 percent equity interest of the company.
The two units will be acquired through the purchase of Cameron’s 100 percent equity interest. The foregoing transaction is not expected to have any material impact on the net tangible assets and earnings per share of the company for the current financial year. The cash consideration will be financed through internal working capital Keppel said in a statement.
