Cerberus Capital Management to enter bid to acquire Grupo T-Solar

Cerberus Capital Management habría entrado en la puja para adquirir Grupo T-Solar

Intel ID : 234472
Synopsis

Cerberus Capital Management, a US-based private equity firm, is said to have barged into the bid to acquire Grupo T-Solar, a Spain-based photovoltaic energy developer, reported Expansión on 7 March, 2016, citing several financial sources.

Also interested in acquiring Grupo T-Solar, a subsidiary of Spain-based Isolux Corsán, are Finland-based power group Fortum (HEL:FUM1V), as well as Bruc Management, a fund recently created by Spanish businessmen Juan Béjar and Eugenio Galdón, along with George Soros, to invest in infrastructure. The fact more bidders are showing interest in the acquisition follows the lack of an exclusivity contract in the negotiations, the report stated.

Whether Grupo T-Solar will be sold to a sole bidder or will be divided is yet to be determined. Initially, Isolux Corsán is inclined to sell the company as a whole, since it would be difficult to divide given the structure of its debt. However, bidders are after certain assets more than others. Cerberus, for example, is more interested in the Spain-based assets, while Bruc may be more interested in foreign assets.

Cerberus Capital Management podría haber irrumpido en la puja para hacerse con Grupo T-Solar, según ha publicado el diario Expansión el 7 de marzo de 2016, basándose en diversas fuentes financieras.

En la puja por Grupo T-Solar, filial de Isolux Corsán, se encontrarían también el grupo eléctrico europeo Fortum (HEL: FUM1V), así como Bruc Management, el fondo creado recientemente por los empresarios españoles Juan Béjar y Eugenio Galdón, en alianza con George Soros, para invertir en infraestructuras. El hecho de que vayan apareciendo más candidatos a la compra se debe, según fuentes cercanas al proceso de venta, a que no hay contrato de exclusividad en las negociaciones.

Lo que está por determinar es si finalmente Grupo T-Solar se vende a un solo postor o se trocea. En principio, Isolux Corsán se inclina a traspasar el grupo en bloque, ya que su troceo sería complicado, por la estructura de la deuda. Sin embargo, los candidatos a la compra están analizando algunos activos con más interés que otros. Cerberus, por ejemplo, se interesa más por los activos en España, mientras que Bruc estaría más interesado por los activos en el exterior.
