Canada’s Paper Excellence, through its U.S. unit Domtar, agreed to buy Resolute Forest Products Inc (RFP.TO) on Wednesday in a deal valued at about $2.7 billion, sending the U.S.-listed shares of Resolute up by 65% before the bell.
Paper Excellence will pay $20.5 per Resolute share, representing a premium of about 64% to the company’s closing price on Tuesday.
The deal is the latest move from the Richmond, British Columbia-based Paper Excellence to expand its footprint in North America, having completed the buyout of U.S. rival Domtar last year.
The Montreal, Quebec-based Resolute which makes market pulp, tissue, wood products and paper was formed by the merger of North American forestry groups Bowater and Abitibi in 2007.
The deal, expected to close in the first half of 2023, will be carried out by way of a merger of Resolute with Domtar and would retain Resolute’s production locations and jobs, Paper Excellence said in a statement.
