Energiekonzerne: Brookfield und CPPIB wohl in nächster Runde für Uniper-Kauf
Im Bieterrennen um Uniper kommen laut Berichten weiter. Die verbliebenen Interessenten sollen nun verbindliche Angebote vorlegen. Kretinskys Holding EPH ist wohl ausgeschieden.
In the next phase of Uniper's planned privatization, several bidders have made it to the final round, according to insiders. The Canadian investment firm Brookfield and the CPPIB are among the potential buyers selected for the upcoming stage of the sale process, reported Reuters through three well-informed sources. The Norwegian energy giant Equinor, along with a consortium including US financial investor KKR and German utility RWE, have also advanced to the next round.
However, the Czech holding company EPH, owned by billionaire Daniel Kretinsky, reportedly did not receive another invitation.
The remaining interested parties must now submit binding bids for Uniper, according to two insiders. They were informed about the decision on Friday, after the bidders had submitted non-binding offers in September. The German Federal Finance Ministry, which manages the government's 99.12 percent stake in Uniper, and EPH have not yet been able to provide a statement. Spokespersons for the Brookfield consortium, Equinor, KKR, and RWE declined to comment.
