Brookfield's PE group to sell up to $173 mln in Norbord shares
The private equity group of Brookfield Asset Management has launched a bought deal secondary offering to sell common shares of Norbord Inc (TSX, NYSE: OSB), a Toronto-based manufacturer of wood-based panels. The offering will sell up to $172.9 million in shares, including its greenshoe option. With its completion, Brookfield's current stake in the company, roughly 53 percent, will drop to about 48.6 percent or lower if the greenshoe option is exercised. Two years ago, Norbord was combined with Vancouver's Ainsworth Lumber Co Ltd, another Brookfield-owned company. The merger deal was valued at $762.6 million.
