(BBB+/Stable/A-2) were unchanged following the group's announced intention to demerge its Consumer Products business in early 2009 and raise up to A$900 million through a share issue. An institutional offer of about A$600 million will be underwritten, while up to A$300 million will be raised from retail investors. The Chemical Services and Chemnet businesses will be merged to form a single Chemicals group. These transactions aim to strengthen Orica's balance sheet and give it the flexibility to expand its core mining-related business, such as the recently approved ammonium nitrate facility in Bontang, Indonesia (costing about US$550 million).
