Cementir Italia has had its Euro125m offer to purchase Sacci SpA approved by the Italian Antitrust Authority, the company has said in a statement. The competition body gave its approval to Cementir Italia’s owner, Cementir Holding.

Cementir Italia submitted its offer for the business in November 2015. The target assets comprise five cement production plants in central and northern Italy, three terminals, several ready-mixed concrete facilities, most of which in central Italy, a transport service and some equity interests in other companies.

Cementir Italia will pay part of the acquisition price upon closing of the transaction and the remainder within 24 months from completion, Cementir said in a previous statement. The first part of the payment is subject to adjustment, it added. Cementir plans to finance the acquisition with new and existing debt.
