The prime-minister Marcel Ciolacu met on Wednesday at the government headquarters the general manager of the Greek energy company Public Power Corporation (PPC) and Alessio Menegazzo, manager for Sustainability and Institutional Affairs of the subsidiaries in Romania of the Italian group Enel. PPC and Enel are expected to finalise this month the transaction, announced for the first time on the local market by Profit.ro through which the operations in Romania of the Italians have been taken over by the Greeks.The meeting at Victoria Palace was also attended, besides Stassis and Menegazzo by the founder and CEO of the Romanian group specialized in services for the energy industry Adrem, Corneliu Bodea who is also the president of the professional body Centrul Roman al Energiei. As Profit.ro said, the ministry of energy has recently decided through the Energy Holding Management Company (SAPE) where he is the only shareholder and owns minority stakes in Romanian energy suppliers and distributors whose controlling stakes are being sold by Enel to PPC, that the Italians’ transaction with the Greeks can go ahead without Enel SpA first being obliged to make a sale offer to the Romanian state for the majority stakes about to be sold to the largest Greek energy company. Thus, the details of the conclusion of the acquisition process by the Greek group PPC of the Romanian business of the Italian company Enel, announced for the first time on the local market by Profit.ro, have been finalized. The Italians' entire portfolio in Romania will come under Greek control for a price of €1.26 billion. PPC plans to finance the acquisition through a combination of debt and equity, of which €800 million will come from already secured financing available in the form of a €485 million five-year loan from Greek banks and a €315 million bridge loan from international banks.
