The company will provide more details about these transactions during a conference call scheduled for April 27 at 08:30 CEST (06:30 GMT), hosted by President and CEO Hilde Merete Aasheim and CFO Pål Kildemo. This partnership aims to enhance operational efficiency and strengthen Hydro's market position in the alumina sector.
Hydro has entered an agreement with Glencore for the acquisition of a 30% stake in the Brazilian alumina refinery, Hydro Alunorte, along with Hydro's 5% stake in Mineracão Rio do Norte (MRN).

The total net enterprise value for these transactions is estimated at USD 1.11 billion, with a net debt adjustment of USD 335 million as of March 31, 2023.

Hydro will use proceeds for strategic growth and shareholder distributions while continuing to develop Alunorte towards a lower carbon emissions profile.
