Incitec Pivot’s drawn-out fertiliser sale rounds the finish line
Investor sources say new chief Mauro Neves has the market’s support to run the company as a pure-play explosives business.
Incitec Pivot’s Indonesian suitor is in the final furlong of carving out its big Australian fertiliser division eight months after Street Talk outed the talks.
The $1 billion-plus deal is expected to be announced within weeks, although sources say there are still a few bits and pieces to iron out.
