By Ben Glickman
Haier Smart Home will buy Carrier Global's
commercial-refrigeration business for total consideration of $640
million.
Chinese household-appliance-maker Haier said it expected the
stock-purchase deal to close in the second half of 2024.
Carrier said the deal gave its commercial-refrigeration business
an enterprise value of $775 million, including about $200 million
of net pension liabilities.
Carrier expects net proceeds of over $500 million, which it
plans to use to pay down debt.
The agreement follows an announcement last week that Carrier
would sell its security business to Honeywell for nearly $5
billion.
Carrier has been looking to divest certain businesses such as
Fire and Security in order to streamline its portfolio.
