Glencore: Glencore hires bankers to sell agriculture unit stake
Glencore (OTCPK:GLCNF, OTCPK:GLNCY) has hired Citigroup and Credit Suisse to sell a minority stake in its agricultural business, a deal that could value the whole division at as much as $12B, Bloomberg reports.Glencore likely would sell the stake to a group of sovereign wealth funds and Asian trading houses, rather than to a single party, according to the report.The sale is part of a program announced earlier this month that included asset sales, spending cuts, stock sales and a dividend suspension aimed at lowering the company’s debt to $20B from $30B.
