EOS and Primeo Energie acquire block of Alpiq shares from EDF

EDF Alpes Investissements Sàrl and EDF International SAS were holding together 25.04% of the Alpid Holding SA's shares. This transaction is financed by Schweizer Kraftwerksbeteiligungs-AG, a company wholly owned by CSA Energy Infrastructure Switzerland, through the conclusion of mandatory exchangeable loan agreements. In this context, the shareholders, including EOS Holding SA and Primeo Energie, of Alpiq Holding SA are willing to reorganize the shareholding structure. This reorganization involves in particular the conversion of the mandatory exchangeable loan agreements and the delisting of Alpiq Holding SA.
