KKR to take minority stake in Eni biofuel unit for EUR 11.5 billion

Italian renewable energy & smart mobility firm Eni has announced that it has signed a temporary exclusivity agreement with global investment firm KKR aimed at progressing the due diligence phase and completing the drafting of the documents related to the sale of a 20% to 25% stake in Enilive.

Eni held that Enilive deal is based on a valuation of the company between 11.5 billion and 12.5 billion euros.

Eni said that while a final transaction is subject to agreeing definitive documentation, both parties are committed to negotiating the terms of a potential transaction. This step represents another example of the development of Eni’s satellite model strategy, attracting strategically aligned capital from valuable new partners at attractive multiples, funding its growth and confirming the value they are creating in these new businesses.

“The strong interest shown in this period by leading institutional financial investors could lead to the subsequent sale of a further stake of up to 10% of Enilive,” said the official statement from Eni.
