Madrid, 8 January 2007. The ACS Group has acquired an additional 4.83% of Unión Fenosa, raising its stake in the electricity utility to 45.3%, in a transaction valued at 655 million euros.
With this increase in its ownership interest, the ACS Group seeks to strengthen its presence at Unión Fenosa and reaffirm its strategic commitment to the electricity company, as well as its confidence in the future of this company in particular, and in the electricity sector in general.
Unión Fenosa has been fully consolidated in the ACS Group’s accounts since January of the past year, and from that time has made up the Group’s Energy Business area, which is additional to the Group’s Construction and Concessions, Environment and Logistics and Industrial Services areas.
