Lucite International to Undertake Refinancing
6th June 2006
Lucite International, owner of the world-renowned Lucite® and Perspex® brands and a global leader in the innovation, design and manufacture of acrylic based products, announced today that it is considering a refinancing transaction. The proceeds of any refinancing transaction may be used to repay or redeem substantially all of Lucite International’s existing debt, including its outstanding 10.25% Senior Notes due 2010.
Together with a number of other European producers of acrylic materials, Lucite International confirms that it has received a notification of a fine from the European Commission. The €25 million fine is in respect of alleged violations of Article 81 of the EC Treaty and Article 53 of the EEA Agreement in relation to PMMA, sheet and pellets in Europe. The allegations apply to a very limited period from November 1999- September 2002.
Lucite International has co-operated fully with the Commission’s investigation and will now review its findings. The Company has two months in which to submit an appeal.
