KKR to increase its stake in Enilive
London, February 18, 2025, (Oilandgaspress) –––Eni and KKR, a leading global investment firm, have signed an agreement under which KKR will increase its stake in Enilive through an additional purchase of Enilive’s shares from Eni. The purchase will correspond to 5% of Enilive’s share capital and will be funded through an additional investment of €587.5 million. Overall, the investment will give KKR a 30% stake in Enilive’s share capital, optimizing Eni’s capital structure, while maintaining Eni’s control and consolidation of Enilive.
The transaction is in line with the agreement signed between KKR and Eni last October for KKR’s acquisition of a 25% stake in Enilive’s share capital, which is expected to close by next month, and it is based on the same post-money valuation of €11.75 billion of Equity Value for 100% of Enilive’s share capital.
KKR’s further investment, backed by leading international co-investors, including large international pension funds among others, underscores market recognition and the solidity of Enilive’s business model, which is committed to offering integrated services and progressively decarbonized products to its consumers in the sustainable mobility sector. Furthermore, the transaction highlights the validity of Eni’s satellite strategy, effectively attracting capital for specific business segments, enabling their independent growth and providing visibility into their fair market value.
The closing of the acquisition of the additional 5% stake is subject to regulatory approvals of the competent authorities.
