Petrobras (PBR) Fully Acquires Italian Company's Power Plant
Read MoreHide Full Article
Petrobras (PBR - Free Report) , the Brazilian state-run oil giant, recently declared that it signed a deal to purchase the remaining 50% interest it did not own in the Italian electricity company, Ibiritermo, which is owned by Italy's Edison SpA. As a result of this, Petrobras will take full control of the firm’s power plants.
The deal, which was announced in a securities filing, is part of PBR’s efforts to take full ownership of assets in which the company only held a partial interest.
A nominal payment of 1 real (about 21 cents) will be made by Petrobras in compliance with a 2002 contract with Ibiritermo. After the closing of the contract, which is subject to regulatory approval, Petrobras will make the payment of 2.5 million reais (about $523,560) to Edison.
The contract between the two firms will conclude with the purchase of Ibiritermo's 226-megawatt capacity power plant in Brazil, the firm's major asset that was already being operated by PBR over the last two decades, after which Petrobras will adopt the necessary measures to start the liquidation of Ibiritermo SA.
