BHPBill sells diamonds business
BHPBill has signed definitive agreements to sell its diamonds business, comprising its interests in the EKATI Diamond Mine and Diamonds Marketing operations, to Harry Winston Diamond Mines Ltd. (Harry Winston) for an aggregate cash consideration of USD500 million. The transactions are subject to regulatory approval and other customary conditions. Completion is expected in the first quarter of calendar year 2013.
Under the terms of the agreements, Harry Winston will assume all of BHPBill's obligations under EKATI's Environmental Agreement with the Government of Canada and the Northwest Territories, Socio-Economic Agreement with the Government of the Northwest Territories, Impact and Benefit Agreements with Aboriginal Group's and pension liabilities linked to the mine’s defined benefit scheme. Harry Winston is also committed to maintaining EKATI's environmental standards and will continue to work with local businesses and communities in the Canadian North. All BHPBill employees working at EKATI, in Yellowknife and in Diamonds Marketing in Antwerp will become employees of Harry Winston as part of the transaction.
The EKATI joint venture parties holding the minority interests in the EKATI mine hold pre- emptive rights to purchase BHPBill's interests and have 60 days from the date they are provided with notice to exercise such rights. Harry Winston's agreements to purchase BHPBill's EKATI interests are subject to the expiration or waiver of these pre-emptive rights and other customary regulatory and closing conditions.
The divestment of EKATI will result in an impairment of approximately USD200 million (post tax) to the carrying value of the asset which will be reflected as an exceptional item in BHPBill's financial results.
