‘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 Group’s leverage, ratings, and payout’, explained Eduardo Takamori, Chief Financial Officer and Investor Relations Director of Engie Brasil Energia.
The transaction represents a significant increase in the valuation of the carrier compared to 2020, when Engie acquired the remaining 10% from Petrobras for R$ 1 billion in values of that time (R$ 1.4 billion adjusted).
