British steelmaker Tata Steel has closed its sale of a 19% stake in Oman-based limestone mining company Al Rimal Mining to Oman National Investments Development Company (Tanmia).
In May 2019, Tata Steel‘s subsidiary TS Global Holdings signed a definitive agreement to induct Tanmia as a shareholder in Al Rimal Mining.
The completion of the transaction has reduced Tata Steel’s stake in Al Rimal Mining from 70% to 51%.
The financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed.
Al Rimal Mining is a step-down subsidiary of Tata Steel that was formed to focus on limestone mining in Oman.
When the agreements were signed in 2019, Tata Steel said Al Rimal Mining’s other existing shareholders would also divest their stakes of 11% to Tanmia. This would give Tanmia a 30% shareholding in Al Rimal Mining.
