The Italian government has blocked reported plans by Finmeccanica SpA
(FNC.MI) to sell the majority stake in an energy services unit to
South Korea
's Doosan Heavy
Industries & Construction Co. (034020.SE), daily Il Sole 24
Ore
reports Friday, without
citing its source.
Finmeccanica advisors are now looking at the possibility of state-controlled
lender Cassa Depositi e Prestiti SpA buying a stake that stops the Koreans from
controlling Ansaldo Energia SpA, writes the newspaper. It adds that the
government hasn't discussed this option.
The CDP possibility involves the lender buying a stake of between 30% and 35%
for between 350 million euros ($460.95 million) and EUR450 million, while
Finmeccanica would keep between 20% and 25%, says the paper. Doosan could buy
the remaining stake held by another shareholder.
State-controlled Finmeccanica owns 55% of Ansaldo Energia and First Reserve Corp.
owns 45%.
The sale of Ansaldo Energia is part of Finmeccanica'a strategy of focusing on
its core businesses, namely defense and aerospace, such as AgustaWestland
helicopters.
