INpdates with details, background

July 4 (Reuters)Australian urea producer Neurizer Ltd NRZ.AX said on Monday it signed a A$1.5 billion ($1.0 billion) deal with a unit of South Korean conglomerate DL Holdings 000210.KS to supply 500,000 tons of granular urea per year.

Neurizer, which develops inputs for food production, said the take or pay agreement with Daelim Co Ltd is for an initial five-year term with an option to extend by mutual agreement.

The agreement guarantees 50% offtake of Neurizer Urea Project’s initial annual production by Daelim, and secures significant revenue which will be used to finance the project in South Australia, the company said. (https://bit.ly/3R53IHj)

Neurizer also said the contract value was based on forecast prices by commodities consultancy firm CRU Group, and at current prices, the contract would be worth more than A$2.8 billion.

The offtake agreement, first announced in November last year, comes shortly after DL Holdings’ construction unit DL E&C Co Ltd took a 9.1% stake in Neurizer last month.

Shares of Neurizer soared 33.3% to A$0.24 in early trading on Monday.
