The sale price is Euro 83.8 million. This is following the subsequent customary price adjustments and includes the transfer to the buyers of the claim held by Endesa Generación against Medgaz, in the form of a loan (principal and interest), amounting to Euro 8.2 million.
Likewise, the purchasers have also released Endesa from its guarantees with the European Investment Bank resulting from a loan from the latter to Medgaz for which Endesa had posted collateral totalling Euro 93.7 million.
This sale will generate gross capital gains of Euro 64 million on Endesa’s consolidated income statement for the first six months of 2013.
