NEXA has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $4.7.
Summary
Boliden AB has agreed to acquire a controlling 64.68% stake in Nexa Resources from Votorantim, with Votorantim receiving 0.250x newly issued Boliden shares per Nexa share and retaining a 7.0% stake in Boliden. The deal implies a total equity value of approximately $2.03 billion for Nexa and total consideration of $1.31 billion. Boliden will launch a voluntary tender offer for the remaining Nexa shares and has secured a $2 billion bridge financing facility. Closing is expected in Q1 2027, subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals. This follows the July 2 confirmation of discussions and represents a definitive agreement with concrete terms.
