Struggle for acquisition of Endesa

In 2006, Acciona was in Germany a wider audience thus known to be announced end of September 2006, having bought 10 % of the shares of the largest Spanish utility Endesa. September 29, 2006 Acciona announced to have an option to purchase a further 3.69% of the shares and to aim for a stake of just under 25 %. At the same time competing with Spanish construction group Acciona Grupo ACS announced its intention to acquire 10% of the second largest power utility Iberdrola. ACS already owns a 35 % stake in the third largest Spanish utility Union Fenosa. Therefore came on the financial speculation, surpassing by a merger of the two companies Iberdrola and Unión Fenosa to a Endesa size Spanish energy company and the conditions imposed by the Spanish Energy Commission, CNE, E.ON wants to undertake in the event of a takeover of Endesa, about 30 % of power generation capacity, particularly nuclear and deliver coal plants that Acciona in the interest of the Spanish government wants to prevent the acquisition of Endesa by the Düsseldorf-based energy supplier E.ON, which Acciona denies. Instead, aimed at Acciona to want to help shape the business policy Endesa. Thanks to the current Spanish corporate law, if a company that less than 25 % of the shareholding strives to submit to the other shareholders not tender offer, while a buyer who like E.ON seeks the majority, depending on the examination and approval of the Spanish Energy Commission, CNE.
