Company Announces Increase In Participation With Canadian Fund CDPQ In Natural Gas Transport Company, Reaching 50% Valuation.
Engie has made an important transaction, announcing the sale of 15% of TAG to the Caisse de Dépôt et Placement du Québec (CDPQ) for R$ 3 billion. With this, the Canadian fund becomes a relevant shareholder in TAG, sharing the same stake as the French group.
Engie Brasil Energia, which currently holds 32.5% of TAG, will adjust its stake to 17.5%, while GDF International, another subsidiary of the Engie group, will maintain its 32.5% stake in TAG. CDPQ, in turn, increases its stake in TAG from 35% to 50% through the wholly-owned subsidiary CDP Groupe Infrastructures Inc, further strengthening its presence in the energy sector.
Partial Divestment In TAG: A Strategic Option
‘The decision for partial divestment in TAG is seen as an attractive possibility to implement an asset rotation at a time when the Company has a solid pipeline of projects underway, without increasing pressure on leverage, ratings, and the Company’s payout’, explained Eduardo Takamori, Chief Financial Officer and Investor Relations Director of Engie Brasil Energia.
