据钻机地带8月12日消息称，哥伦比亚国家石油公司（Ecopetrol）与财政部签署了一项36亿美元的协议，收购输电公司Interconexion Electrica SA，简称ISA。

　　一份监管文件显示，Ecopetrol 同意以每股25000比索(6.3美元)的价格收购，较周三21500比索的收盘价溢价16%。该合同将购买569472561股，相当于51.4%的股份。

　　财政部长Jose Manuel Restrepo在波哥大举行的新闻发布会上表示，价格处于估值范围的“上限”。Ecopetrol首席执行官Felipe Bayon表示，虽然该交易需要在12月6日前完成，但可能会在3至4周内完成。

　　Bayon表示，此次收购将加速Ecopetrol商业模式的转型。虽然石油和天然气仍将是公司的核心业务，但随着世界逐渐远离碳氢化合物，Ecopetrol的目标是减少碳排放，投资可再生能源，并增加新的业务线。

　　总部位于麦德林的 ISA 在拉丁美洲各国经营输电线路和收费公路。ISA的股价今年已经下跌了16%，而哥伦比亚基准的Colcap指数下跌了13%。

　　据Restrepo称，哥伦比亚将把这笔资金用于今年的预算。他说，政府将以美元支付，并将以渐进和负责任的方式将其兑换成比索，以限制对比索的影响。

　　Ecopetrol Signs $3.6B Deal to Acquire ISA

　　Colombia’s state-controlled oil company Ecopetrol SA signed a $3.6 billion deal with the Finance Ministry to acquire electricity transmission company Interconexion Electrica SA, or ISA.

　　Ecopetrol agreed to pay 25,000 pesos per share ($6.3), a 16% premium on Wednesday’s closing price of 21,500 pesos, according to a regulatory filing. The contract is for 569,472,561 shares, equivalent to a 51.4% stake.

　　The price is in the “upper bound” of the range of valuations, Finance Minister Jose Manuel Restrepo said at a press conference in Bogota. Ecopetrol CEO Felipe Bayon said that while the deal needs to happen before Dec. 6, it will likely occur in 3 to 4 weeks.

　　The acquisition of the utility will speed up Ecopetrol’s transformation of its business model, Bayon said. While oil and gas will continue to be the core business, Ecopetrol aims to cut carbon emissions, invest in renewable energy and add new business lines as the world moves away from hydrocarbons.

　　Medellin-based ISA operates electricity transmission lines and toll highways in countries across Latin America. Shares in ISA have fallen 16% this year, compared to a 13% drop for Colombia’s benchmark Colcap index.

　　Colombia will use the funds for this year’s budget, according to Restrepo. The government will be paid in U.S. dollars and will convert these into pesos in a gradual and responsible way to limit the impact on the peso, he said.
