The National Property Fund rejected an appeal of the outcome of the Unipetrol privatization advisor tender launched by the Arthur D. Little consulting firm (a consortium of McKinsey/WestLB/EEIP won the tender). Arthur D. Little can still appeal to the antitrust authority, but it must do so by a June 23 deadline (Czech Press Agency). Positive.
Separately, Unipetrol holds an AGM today; no affect on its stock price is expected.
