Alfa estaría negociando nuevamente la adquisición de Pacific E&P

Intel ID : 235187
Synopsis

Alfa (BMV:ALFA), a Mexico-based aluminum head and monoblock manufacturer, is said to be in talks to acquire Canada-based oil company Pacific Exploration & Production (TSX:PRE; BVC:PREC), where it already holds 19%, reported Bloomberg on 1 April, 2016, citing sources familiar with the talks.

According to the report, a strong bid from Alfa could gain the support of Pacific E&P's largest investor, Panama-based O'Hara Administration, which had already opposed Alfa's acquisition of the oil company in mid-2015 (see related intel and transaction).

Alfa is said to have withdrawn another bid last month, which is why the new bid comes as a surprise, the report stated. Alfa's bid is said to include a USD 500m loan.

On 17 March, it was reported Alfa was taking the lead in a potential acquisition of Pacific E&P (see related intel).

Alfa (BMV:ALFA), fabricante mexicana de cabezas y monoblocks de aluminio, podría estar en negociaciones para adquirir la petrolera canadiense Pacific Exploration & Production (TSX:PRE; BVC:PREC), donde ya es dueña de un 19%, ha publicado Bloomberg el 1 de abril de 2016, citando fuentes con conocimiento de las negociaciones.

Según lo publicado, una oferta sustancial de Alfa podría ganar el apoyo del mayor inversionista de Pacific E&P, la panameña O'Hara Administration. O'Hara ya se había opuesto a que Alfa adquiriera la petrolera a mediados de 2015 (ver intel y transacción relacionados).

Alfa habría retirado otra oferta el mes pasado, por lo que esta nueva oferta ha resultado sorpresiva, de acuerdo con la información. La oferta de Alfa incluiría un préstamo de USD 500m.

El 17 de marzo, se ha informado que Alfa era la candidata favorita para una posible adquisición de Pacific E&P (ver intel relacionado).
