Koliko bi MOL mogao da plati ruski udeo u NIS-u?
Srbija čeka odgovor SAD o produženju operativne licence i odobrenju kupoprodaje udela „Gaspromnjefta“ – vlasnička struktura mogla bi biti poznata već sredinom marta, a država bi stekla više od trećine udela u ključnoj energetskoj kompaniji, piše RTS.
TL;DR
- Serbia awaits OFAC's decision on NIS operational license and the sale of Gazprom Neft's majority stake to MOL.
- If approved, MOL could become the majority owner of NIS by mid-March.
- Serbia plans to buy 5% of NIS shares from MOL, increasing its stake to over 34%.
- Key conditions for the sale include zero Russian ownership and restricted access to sale funds for the Russian side.
- Funds from the sale may be held in an 'escrow' account until OFAC grants final approval.
- Serbia's increased stake ensures its participation in decisions requiring a two-thirds majority.
- A joint venture between MOL and UAE's ADNOK might manage NIS, with ADNOK holding a minority stake.
- The book value of NIS was €3.3 billion at the end of 2023, valuing the 56.15% stake at around €1.85 billion.
- The sale includes NIS's refinery, exploration assets, and other companies, including HIP Petrohemija.
- A legally binding document is recommended to regulate the rights and obligations of MOL and Serbia regarding the refinery.
- The final purchase agreement is expected by mid-to-late March, with a critical deadline of March 24th.
