International Cement Group

International Cement Group’s indirect subsidiary Sharcem has entered a deal to acquire Kazakhstan-based Shygys Zharyq, which is engaged in supplying electricity, for US$1.8 million, or around S$2.41 million, from two Khazkstan citizens, the company said in a filing to SGX Wednesday.

“With this acquisition, Sharcem LLP will be able to purchase electricity from the electric power stations in Kazakhstan, through the target company. This presents costs savings for the group as they do not have to pay the mark-up on electricity tariffs charged by energy-producing organisations,” International Cement Group said. “The cost savings arising from this acquisition will greatly outweigh the purchase consideration.”

After the deal’s completion, International Cement Group will hold an effective 60 percent stake in Shygys Zharyq, which is currently dormant, but owns a license to purchase and sell electricity to customers, the filing said.
