Tenaris Makes Binding Offer to Acquire Additional Welded
Pipe Assets in Argentina
LUXEMBOURG--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 22, 2005--Tenaris S.A. (NYSE:TS)
(BCBA:TS) (BMV:TS) (BI:TEN) announced today that, through its Argentine welded
pipe subsidiary, Siat S.A, it has made a binding offer to acquire the welded
pipe assets and facilities of Acindar Industria Argentina de Aceros S.A.
(Acindar) located in Villa Constitucion, Santa Fe, for approximately US$28
million. The proposed acquisition has been approved by the Argentine competition
authorities but remains subject to Acindar being released from its general
restriction on asset dispositions under its ongoing out-of-court debt
restructuring and the satisfaction of applicable publicity requirements relating
to bulk transfers of assets.
The facilities that would be acquired with this transaction have an annual
capacity of 80,000 tons of welded pipes whose small diameter size range would
complement the range of welded pipes that it currently produces in Argentina.
Tenaris is a leading global manufacturer of seamless steel pipe products
and provider of pipe handling, stocking and distribution services to the oil and
gas, energy and mechanical industries and a leading regional supplier of welded
steel pipes for gas pipelines in South America. Domiciled in Luxembourg, it has
pipe manufacturing facilities in Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Italy, Japan,
Mexico, Romania and Venezuela and a network of customer service centers present
in over 20 countries worldwide.
