BP和Nova Chemical在50:50合资合并Styenics业务合并合资企业

BP和NOVA Chemicals Corporationtoday announced they have signed binding agreements to merge their European styrenic polymers businesses into a 50:50 Joint Venture. As previously announced in November 2004, the transaction to form the Joint Venture will be cashless.

该合资企业将以其股东Nova Chemicals和Innovene（BP新成型的烯烃和衍生品业务）的名字命名为Nova Innovene。

同样，今天，Innovene和Nova Chemicals宣布提名两名高级管理人员领导合资企业。现任欧洲Nova Chemicals副总裁兼董事总经理Martin Pugh将担任Nova Innovene的董事总经理。Chris de la Camp目前是Innovene Styenics业务的控制者，将担任新合资企业的财务总监。

NOVA Innovene plans to deliver market-leading styrenic polymers to its customers and to become the most cost effective producer in the European market. Innovene and NOVA Chemicals expect to commence operations of the joint venture, following regulatory and other approvals, in the third quarter of 2005.
