Orlen agrees to buy Grupa Azoty Polyolefins

Orlen, which already holds 17.3%, signed a preliminary agreement on 31 March 2026 to buy all shares; creditors receive earn-out payments over up to twelve years. Completion requires the end of the restructuring proceedings and regulatory approvals; the source headline speaks of a completion, but the text describes the preliminary agreement (Chemical Engineering, 6 Apr 2026).
