The company would be listed on the stock exchange, added Chief Executive Alfred Stern.
The deal, if realised, would include a merger of petrochemicals group Borealis (BESGR.UL) - which is owned by OMV and ADNOC in a 75:25 split - and Borouge (BOROUGE.AD), which is 54:36 owned by ADNOC and Borealis.
Stern added that he expected a difficult fourth quarter and possibly a difficult first quarter of 2024 for the chemicals business.
