A Weil team led by New York partner Danek Freeman advised Citi in connection with providing committed debt financing for FMC Corp.’s $1.8 billion acquisition of Cheminova A/S, a multinational crop protection company based in Denmark, from Auriga Industries A/S.
The acquisition of Cheminova, which is expected to close in early 2015, will broaden FMC’s product portfolio and geographic footprint. Cheminova also brings complementary technologies in insecticides and herbicides, significantly enhances FMC’s fungicide portfolio and adds a growing micronutrient business.
