Shanghai Electric has agreed to buy a 40 per cent stake in Ansaldo Energia, the Italian power equipment maker, in another sign of China’s interest in investing in the country.
上海電氣(Shanghai Electric)已同意購入意大利電力設備制造商安薩爾多能源公司(Ansaldo Energia)40%股權，這是中國有意投資意大利的又一個跡象。
Shanghai Electric, will pay 400m to Fondo Strategico Italiano (FSI), Italy’s state-backed investment fund, which holds 85 per cent of the turbine maker. The agreement is expected to be closed by the end of the year.
上海電氣將向目前持有這家發電機廠商85%股權的政府背景的投資基金——意大利戰略基金(Fondo Strategico Italiano，簡稱FSI)支付4億歐元。預計協議將在今年底完成。
Maurizio Tamagnini, chief executive for FSI, called the move a “long-term” deal, confirming that the fund would maintain its majority stake and would “accompany Ansaldo, in the near future, to an IPO”.
FSI首席執行官毛里西奧•塔馬尼尼(Maurizio Tamagnini)稱此舉為一項“長期”協議，他還證實該基金將保留多數股權，并將“在不久的將來陪伴安薩爾多能源啟動首次公開發行(IPO)”。
Finmeccanica, the state-controlled defence company that used to own Ansaldo and holds a 15 per cent share, is due to quit the company via the IPO. “The agreement with Shanghai Electric will allow Ansaldo to have better growth perspectives,” said Mr Tamagnini, who did not rule out a capital increase, if needed.
安薩爾多能源曾經的所有者、現在持股15%的政府控股的防務集團Finmeccanica，將通過IPO退出安薩爾多能源。塔馬尼尼表示：“與上海電氣的協議將讓安薩爾多能源獲得更好的增長前景。”他沒有排除在必要情況下增資的可能性。
FSI, which has share capital of 4.4bn, bought its shareholding in Ansaldo Energia in December in a move by Finmeccanica to reduce its debt and focus on its core activities.
FSI擁有44億歐元股本，去年12月，該基金購入安薩爾多能源股權，此舉旨在讓Finmeccanica減少債務，聚焦于核心業務。
