Uniper hires Goldman to sell stake in Italy LNG terminal
MILAN/FRANKFURT (Reuters) -- Germany's Uniper has hired Goldman Sachs to sell its stake in a LNG terminal in Italy, a deal that could value the whole business at $1.1 billion, three people familiar with the deal told Reuters.
Books have been opened for due diligence on OLT Offshore LNG Toscana's business and a deal could materialise in the first half of 2017, the people said, also adding that there was no guarantee that a sale would take place.
Energy firm Uniper holds a 48.24% stake in the OLT terminal, while Italian utility group Iren owns 49.07%. The remaining 2.69% stake is held by US-based shipping group Golar LNG.
Uniper, Goldman Sachs, OLT and Iren declined to comment. Golar LNG was not immediately available for comment.
