Alfa lleva la delantera en posible adquisición de Pacific E&P

Intel ID : 234866
Synopsis

Alfa (BMV:ALFA), a Mexico-based aluminum head and monoblock manufacturer, is said to have the greatest chances to acquire Canada-based oil company Pacific Exploration & Production (TSX:PRE; BVC:PREC), where it already holds 19%, reported Bloomberg on 17 March, 2016, citing sources familiar with the matter.

According to the report, Tyrus Capital, a Monaco-based hedge fund sponsor, is also a strong contender. The transaction would be carried out through a debt-for-equity swap.

Meanwhile, Pacific E&P co-chairman, Serafino Iacono, may be seeking outside financing in exchange for 10% of the company's equity. However, some shareholders may oppose that proposal, the report stated.

In response to the report, Pacific E&P noted in a press release issued on 17 March that, as part of its debt restructuring plan, it is in talks with interested parties to strengthen its capital structure, but added any proposal it receives may not be accepted or implemented.

Alfa (BMV:ALFA), fabricante mexicana de cabezas y monoblocks de aluminio, llevaría la delantera en la posible adquisición de la petrolera canadiense Pacific Exploration & Production (TSX:PRE; BVC:PREC), donde ya es dueña de un 19%, ha publicado Bloomberg el 17 de marzo de 2016, citando fuentes con conocimiento del tema.

Según lo publicado, Tyrus Capital, sponsor de hedge fund con sede en Mónaco, también tendría fuertes posibilidades. La transacción se realizaría a través de un swap de deuda por capital.

Por otro lado, el copresidente de la junta de Pacific E&P, Serafino Iacono, estaría buscando obtener financiamiento externo a cambio de 10% del capital social de la empresa. No obstante, algunos accionistas se opondrían a esa propuesta, de acuerdo con la información.

Al respecto, Pacific E&P ha señalado en una nota de prensa del 17 de marzo que, como parte de su plan de restructuración de deuda, está en conversaciones con partes interesadas para fortalecer su estructura de capital. Sin embargo, ha añadido que cualquier propuesta que reciba podría no ser aceptada o implementada.
