FMC agrees to sell Newark, Delaware property for approximately $114 million
FMC Corporation signed a framework agreement on June 18, 2026, to sell underutilized buildings and land at its Stine Research Center campus in Newark, Delaware, to Ercor Elkton, LLC, for gross cash proceeds of approximately $114 million. FMC expects to use the proceeds to pay down debt and says research operations will continue at the site, but the agreement is preliminary and may not result in a completed transaction.
Key points
- Gross cash proceeds of approximately $114 million from the sale to Ercor Elkton, LLC, subject to due diligence and other conditions and adjustments
- Agreement dated June 18, 2026; closing is expected in the fourth quarter, and FMC plans to negotiate a leaseback for facilities it actively operates
- FMC expects the proceeds to be used to pay down debt and says its Stine Research Center will continue to operate at the site
- FMC retains ownership of the adjacent Maryland property; the filing states there can be no assurance the agreement will result in a transaction
