Unipetrol privatization by Agrofert is expected to be clarified on Monday

Yesterday, the National Property Fund called on Agrofert to pay for the state's 63% stake by Monday, September 30. Expected.
Interestingly, the state Anti-Monopoly Office said it had accepted Agrofert’s commitment to comply with certain AMO’s requirements concerning the transaction (specifically as regards fertilizer production).
Agrofert has said it will announce its intentions regarding the Unipetrol acquisition on Monday, September 30. While we do not expect that Agrofert will complete the transaction, its declaration of its commitment to comply with certain AMO requirements could indicate the opposite. OMV of Austria declared its interest in Unipetrol in the event that Agrofert does not complete the transaction; OMV took part in the privatization tender in a consortium with MOL, but was not among the short-listed bidders.
