Company Sold 50% of Gas Subsidiary to Canadian Fund CDPQ in Strategic Divestment.
Engie, one of the largest companies in the energy sector, announced today the sale of 15% of the Transportadora Associada de Gás (TAG) to the Caisse de Dépôt et Placement du Québec (CDPQ) for R$ 3 billion. With this transaction, the Canadian fund and the French group will have equal stake in the company.
Engie Brasil Energia, a subsidiary of Engie, currently holds 32.5% of TAG and after the transaction, will own 17.5%. GDF International, also belonging to the Engie group, will retain its 32.5% stake. Meanwhile, CDPQ will increase its share from 35% to 50% through the wholly-owned subsidiary CDP Groupe Infrastructures Inc.
Engie: Divestment and Asset Rotation
‘The partial divestment in TAG is an attractive option to implement an asset rotation, at a time when the Company has a solid pipeline of projects underway, without increasing pressure on the Company’s leverage, ratings, and payout’, explained Eduardo Takamori, Chief Financial Officer and Investor Relations Director at Engie Brasil Energia.
