im Vergleich zum aktuellen Handelsmultiplikator von Ecovyst erworben wobei das erwartete EBITDA nach der Integration berücksichtigt wird Dies steht im Einklang mit der Strategie des Unternehmens hochrentierliche organische Wachstumsinitiativen und strategische Zukäufe in Ecoservices zu verfolgen Ecovyst's acquisition of Cornerstone Chemical's sulfuric acid assets represents a strategically sound expansion of its production capabilities in the Gulf Coast region The deal offers three key advantages worth highlighting: the financial structure appears favorable - Ecovyst is acquiring these assets below replacement value and funding the purchase with existing cash reserves rather than taking on debt This indicates strong liquidity positioning and disciplined capital allocation Management's statement that the transaction multiple compares favorably to Ecovyst's current trading multiple suggests potential accretion once integrated The Waggaman facility's proximity to Ecovyst's existing Baton Rouge operations creates operational complementarity that should enhance network flexibility across their Gulf Coast operations where logistics and regional supply-demand dynamics significantly impact economics this network density can provide competitive advantages this acquisition aligns with Ecovyst's articulated strategic framework of pursuing high-return organic growth complemented by targeted bolt-on acquisitions specifically in their Ecoservices segment The transaction strengthens their ability to meet existing customer needs while creating capacity for future growth opportunities While the announcement lacks specifics on purchase price or expected EBITDA contribution the below-replacement-cost acquisition of hard assets in the capital-intensive

it will purchase the Waggaman ammonia plant and related assets for $1.675 billion It informed that the companies will allocate approximately $425 million of the purchase price to a long-term ammonia

accepting a plea deal from Jefferson Parish prosecutors that saw those charges reduced to manslaughter who also pleaded guilty to two counts of attempted second-degree murder has been in prison since he was arrested for the March 2010 fatal shootings of Kedrich Steward The attempted second-degree murder charges stemmed from the shooting of Terrence Toledano who was critically wounded at the same time Steward and Collins were killed whom Ridgley was accused of shooting several months earlier chief of felony prosecutions for the DA’s Office noted that Ridgley was 16 at the time the crimes were committed which could have made him eligible for parole after 35 years even if he had been convicted of the more serious crime of second-degree murder “Based on his age at the time of the offense and evidentiary issues that developed the DA’s Office believed that a 30-year sentence was the best resolution for the case,” she said in a statement “We consulted with the families of the deceased and the surviving victims in reaching this decision.” Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office deputies responded to a report of shots fired at 9:11 p.m and arrived at the rear entrance of Waggaman Playground on Dandelion Drive they found Steward dead with a gunshot wound to the head and Collins and Toledano badly wounded arrived and also asked Collins who had shot him this time recording the answer on his cellphone "You're sure Samuel Ridgley shot you?"
