Sherritt enters term sheet with Gillon Capital amid Cuba sanctions pressure
The non-binding deal would let Gillon buy enough shares for a 55% stake as Sherritt seeks a path through U.S. sanctions pressure.
On Wednesday, Sherritt International Corp. signed a non-binding agreement with Gillon Capital LLC, a family office linked to former Overseas Private Investment Corporation head Ray Washburne, allowing Gillon to acquire a 55% majority stake.
Sherritt, which has a 32-year presence in Cuba, reversed its decision to dissolve the Moa joint venture while navigating expanded U.S. sanctions on the Caribbean country.
The United States Department and Treasury Departments confirmed they do not object to Gillon negotiations, though officials stated that any final deal would require formal approval from both departments.
Under the preliminary private placement, Gillon would hold a warrant exercisable within nine months to purchase shares for a 55% stake, with Sherritt expecting the price at a discount to its May 15 closing share price.
