据11月4日Energy Voice报道,波兰能源集团Unimot SA表示,如果PKN与规模较小的竞争对手Grupa Lotos计划合并,其中一些加油站将被出售,该公司准备接管PKN Orlen的加油站。
市值117亿美元的PKN去年表示,计划从政府收购至少53%的Lotos股份。
PKN已正式请求欧盟监管机构批准该交易。消息人士称,由于竞争方面的担忧,PKN可能会与欧盟委员会展开旷日持久的谈判。
Unimot执行长Adam Sikorski周一在一份声明中称:"我们非常有兴趣收购一些加油站,由于欧盟决定批准PKN收购Lotos,这些加油站可能会挂牌出售。"
去年9月,BP表示,如果PKN计划收购Lotos,导致PKN的任何资产被出售,BP可能会对这些加油站进行投资。
PKN表示,它可能准备与竞争对手交换资产,以缓解欧盟监管机构对合并的担忧。

Polish energy firm Unimot interested in PKN's gas stations
Polish energy group Unimot SA said it is ready to take over PKN Orlen’s gas stations if some of them come up for sale as part of PKN’s planned merger with its smaller rival Grupa Lotos.
PKN, which has a market value of $11.7 billion, said last year that it planned to buy at least 53% of Lotos, from the government. Both companies are state-run.
PKN has formally requested approval from EU regulators for the deal to go ahead. Sources have said that due to competition concerns PKN will likely face protracted talks with the European Commission.
“We’re seriously interested in buying a package of gas stations, which potentially might be put up for sale due to the EC decisions regarding approval for Lotos’ acquisition by PKN,” Unimot CEO Adam Sikorski said in a statement on Monday.
In September BP said may be interested if any of PKN’s assets come up for sale as a result of PKN’s planned takeover of Lotos.
PKN signalled it may be ready to swap assets with its competitors in order to ease EU regulators’ concerns about the merger.
