Dong Energy's oil and gas unit interests AP Moller-Maersk and EIG
Dong Energy's oil and gas unit has attracted the interest of AP Moller Maersk and EIG, the American investment company, according to a report by Borsen.
The Danish business daily cited the Danish newswire Ritzau which in turn cited a report by Bloomberg to which unnamed sources said that Maersk and EIG are possible bidders. The sources also said that the offer period expires at the end of the year and that the deal value could reach over USD 2bn.
Meanwhile, Dong told the newswire via e-mail that a sale will not occur this year and that there is still no point in speculating about when a deal might happen and who potential buyers could be.
