Wood Group completes acquisition of Amec Foster Wheeler

Wood Group has announced that it has completed the acquisition of Amec Foster Wheeler. Wood Group’s new ordinary shares will be admitted to the premium segment of the Official List and to trading on the main market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange with effect from 8.00 a.m. (London time) today, 9 October 2017.

“This transformational acquisition creates a global leader in the delivery of project, engineering and technical services to energy and industrial markets.

We become a business of significant scale and enhanced capability delivering services across a broader range of geographies and sectors, differentiated by the quality of our people, enabling technology and know-how.  Wood is better placed to serve customers than ever before, with a more comprehensive range of capabilities and the potential to deliver efficient integrated solutions with fewer customer interfaces.

We expect to deliver significant cost synergies and incremental revenue synergies in a less cyclical business which retains a predominantly reimbursable, asset light model with a balanced risk appetite.

Our integration planning is well progressed and we have ensured that appropriate risk management and control processes are in place from Day 1. We have a clear organisational structure, my Executive Leadership team and their direct reports have been announced and we are now focussing on implementing a best of both approach for the wider organization,” said Robin Watson, Chief Executive of Wood Group.

The admission of Amec Foster Wheeler Shares to the premium segment of the Official List and to trading on the main market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange will be cancelled with effect from 8.00 a.m. (London time) today.

Wood is a global leader in the delivery of project, engineering and technical services to energy and industrial markets operating in more than 60 countries, employing around 55,000 people, with revenues of over $11 billion.
