Closure of Business Unit

In a strategic move to optimize resources and enhance long-term profitability, the Board of Directors of CDG Petchem Limited has decided to cease operations in its PE Wax and Polymer Trading businesses. This decision comes as a result of a comprehensive evaluation of market dynamics and the company's performance in these sectors.

PE Wax Business:

The escalation of the Russian-Ukraine conflict has significantly disrupted the petrochemical market, leading to unpredictable fluctuations in supply and demand. Additionally, the company faced challenges with sourcing raw wax, particularly from refineries like Opal and Haldia, which transitioned to refining and distributing wax directly to the market. Also the import of Raw PE WAX got effected as it is impossible to have control over the quality consistency of the material being imported. Hence the Board concluded that the PE Wax business has become non-operative and does not align with the company's long-term strategic goals. Furthermore, continued operation in this sector was deemed detrimental to the company's financial health.

Polymer Trading Business:

Despite being engaged in petrochemical trading, the Polymer Trading segment has become unproductive significantly has reduced its contribution to the company's profitability over the past two years. The Board's evaluation revealed that the business lacked the potential for substantial growth and did not offer a competitive advantage. As a result, the Board decided to gradually phase out operations in this segment with the intention of eventual closure.

Future Direction:

In light of the closure of these ventures, the Board is actively seeking new avenues for growth and profitability. To this end, a team of advisors comprising board members will be formed to explore opportunities for launching new businesses, acquiring established ventures, or making strategic investments. The primary objective is to identify lucrative and sustainable ventures that will maximize shareholder value and position the company for long-term success.

Conclusion:

The decision to close CDG Petchem's PE Wax and Polymer Trading businesses reflects the company's commitment to adaptability and strategic foresight. By divesting from non-performing segments and redirecting resources towards more promising opportunities, the company aims to enhance its competitiveness and create value for its shareholders in the evolving market landscape.
