(OCI AH) to AGROFERT, a.s., a significant European nitrogen products manufacturer, for a total consideration of €290 million. OCI AH owns both OCI Terminal Europoort B.V.

  • The Transaction is expected to close in H1 2026 subject to satisfaction of certain regulatory approvals, other customary closing procedures and OCI N.V. shareholder approval at an extraordinary general meeting to be convened.
  • OCI Nitrogen (OCIN) – OCI’s production facility in Geleen – will continue to have access to OTE via a throughput agreement, ensuring ammonia sourcing flexibility.

OCI continues to evaluate strategic options for its production facility in Geleen and will update the market in due course.
