Aug 10 (Reuters) - German renewable project developer PNE
on Monday said that interest received so far in its
sale process indicated potential buyers were unwilling to match
its market valuation, casting doubts on whether a transaction
would materialise.
A sale of the company could fetch more than €1 billion
($1.15 billion), Reuters reported in June.
* PNE, which has a market capitalization of €757.61 million,
is 50.06% owned by a fund managed by Morgan Stanley
Infrastructure Partners, according to LSEG data.
* "It is currently uncertain whether a transaction will
materialise and what its terms would be," PNE said.
* The development comes as the Morgan Stanley Infrastructure
Partners fund seeks to cash in on the PNE stake after a previous
sale effort ended without success.
* Reuters reported last year that Morgan Stanley ( MS ) was working
with Goldman Sachs ( GS ) to explore a sale. Other shareholders
were also prepared to sell, sources have said.
* PNE has a 21.7-gigawatt pipeline of wind and solar
projects, with more than half in core markets Germany, France
and Poland.
* Multiple companies have eyed PNE in the past, including
Switzerland's Partners Group and Canada's CPPIB,
Reuters reported.
