Regal Beloit (RBC) to Buy Rexnord's Process & Motion Control Unit
Read MoreHide Full Article
Regal Beloit Corporation (RBC - Free Report) on Feb 16, announced that it has signed an agreement with Rexnord Corporation to combine operations with the latter’s Process & Motion Control (PMC) segment. Notably, the deal values the PMC segment at about $3.69 billion.
Rexnord’s PMC segment is engaged in designing and manufacturing a wide range of mechanical components used in complex systems, primarily in end markets like mining, general industrial applications, agriculture, petrochemical, aerospace, energy, food and beverage, among others.
About the Deal
The deal will involve Rexnord to spin off its PMC operating segment and simultaneously merge it with Regal Beloit in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction. Post the deal, which is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2021, Regal Beloit’s shareholders will own 61.4% of the combined entity (“New Regal”), while rest 38.6% will be owned by Rexnord’s shareholders.
Notably, the transaction will combine Regal Beloit and Rexnord PMC segment’s advanced power transmission portfolios. This is likely to boost Regal Beloit’s product line and enhance its position as a major provider of power transmission solutions, apart from strengthening its market presence and shareholder value. As noted, within three years of completion, the deal is likely to generate cost savings of $120 million for Regal Beloit.
Regal Beloit’s shares gained 0.6% in the past couple of days to eventually close the trading session at $129.67 on Wednesday.
