Tronox appoints Quinpario Partners founder as new CEO

Tronox Limited (TROX) has appointed Jeffry Quinn as president and CEO, effective 1 December 2017. Quinn has served as a member of the company's board of directors since 2011, and will continue in that position.

Quinn brings more than 30 years of experience in the mining, refining, and chemicals industries to the role. He previously served as chairman and CEO of Solutia Inc, a publicly listed global specialty chemical company, from 2004 until its acquisition by Eastman Chemical Company in 2012.

Quinn succeeds Peter Johnston, a member of Tronox's board of directors, who has held the role of interim CEO since May 15, 2017. The board appointed Johnston to that role after Thomas Casey announced his retirement as CEO for health reasons. Johnston will remain a member of the company's board of directors.

Quinn, 58, joined Solutia in 2003 and was chairman and chief executive officer from 2004 through 2012. In 2012, he founded Quinpario Partners LLC, a private investment company that was also the sponsor of two publicly listed special-purpose acquisition corporations, and served as its chairman, CEO and managing member. Earlier in his career, Quinn was a member of the executive management team of Premcor Inc, a large, publicly traded independent refiner, from 2000 through 2003, and of Arch Coal Inc, the second-largest domestic coal producer, from 1986 through 2000.

Tronox completes sale of alkali chemicals business to Genesis

Tronox Limited (TROX) has completed the sale of its alkali chemicals business to Genesis Energy LP (GEL). The purchase price was approximately $1.325 billion inclusive of approximately $106 million of non-cash net working capital.

The proceeds will be used to fund the majority portion of the cash consideration for the acquisition of the TiO2assets of Cristal, which is expected to close by the first quarter of 2018," said Peter Johnston, Tronox chief executive officer.

Credit Suisse is acting as financial advisor to Tronox for both the Cristal and Alkali transactions and Kirkland & Ellis LLP and Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP are Tronox's legal advisors.

Tronox to sell alkali chemicals business for $1.3 bn cash

Tronox Limited (TROX) has signed a definitive agreement to sell its alkali chemicals business to Genesis Energy LP (GEL), a diversified midstream energy master limited partnership headquartered in Houston, Texas, for $1.325 billion in cash.

The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2017.

The sale of alkali chemicals is the next step in positioning Tronox as the global leader in TiO2.  The proceeds will be used to fund the majority portion of the cash consideration for the Cristal TiO2 acquisition, which is expected to close by the first quarter of 2018.  As an integral part of this strategy, the company announced its intention to refinance a portion of its capital structure.

"We were pleased to have received significant interest in our alkali business from multiple potential buyers. Genesis' proposal was the most compelling for its overall value, with its combination of price, favourable contract terms, speed to closing, committed financing, and expected ease of regulatory approvals. These considerations, in aggregate, provided the highest level of certainty to Tronox. We anticipate being able to close this transaction prior to our planned closing of the Cristal TiO2 acquisition,” said Peter Johnston, CEO of Tronox.

"Alkali chemicals has consistently delivered strong operational and financial performance. The caliber of the alkali workforce and their commitment to safe, high-quality production are unmatched in the natural soda ash industry. I thank the leadership team and all alkali employees for their contributions to Tronox," added Johnston.

Anadarko Petroleum Corp and its Kerr-McGee unit will pay $5.15 billion to resolve environmental cleanup claims stemming from the 2009 bankruptcy of paint materials maker Tronox, the biggest environmental bankruptcy settlement on record. The deal ends two years of litigation brought by a trust for governments, tribes and individuals that held claims against Tronox. "This settlement agreement with the Litigation Trust and the U.S. Government eliminates the uncertainty this dispute has created, and the proceeds will fund the remediation and cleanup of the legacy environmental liabilities and tort claims," Anadarko Chief Executive Officer Al Walker said in a statement. Anadarko said it would record a net $550 million tax benefit from the agreement. Source: Reuters
