Avianca Holding estaría estudiando ofertas de Delta Airlines, United Airlines y Copa Airlines

Intel ID : 243144
Synopsis

Avianca Holding (BVC:AVT; NYSE:AVH), a Panama-based holding of airlines Avianca and Taca, may be studying offers submitted by Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL), an Atlanta, US-based airline, United (NYSE:UAL), a Chicago, US-based airline, and Copa Airlines (NYSE: CPA), a Panama-based airline, reported The New York Times on 5 December 2016, citing sources familiar with the matter.

Specifically, the participation of Elliot, a US-based private equity firm, in the talks held in recent months to find a strategic partner for Avianca Holdings (see related intel), may have taken it to find out about the offers of groups interested in Avianca.

Meanwhile, United Airlines may have offered a USD-500m loan to Avianca potentially become one of its investors, Copa Airlines may have proposed a merger of more than USD 2bn, and Delta Airlines may have offered over USD 1bn in cash to buy most of the stake held by Synergy Group and the rest from Avianca.

On 6 December, a Special Committee of the Board of Avianca is expected to meet to decide whether to accept an offer or proceed with a new round of offers.
