Kulczyk Holding among five looking into Megadex

Kulczyk Holding has joined a group of five other companies interested in the takeover of Megadex, an engineering company from the Elektrim group. According to unofficial information, the companies, which have already begun due diligence, include the French Alstom, American Bachtel, Spanish Acciona, and Montreal-based SNC Lavalin. There is also a potential Japanese investor, which announced plans to carry out due diligence in April. The attractiveness of Megadex is related to its contract with the Patnow-Adamow-Konin (PAK) power plants, for construction of a new plant. Puls Biznesu also reveals that the real reason Kulczyk Holding is investigating Megadex, is that the company is interested in taking over the PAK plants. It could do so by acquiring employee shares and a 50% stake from the Treasury. Unofficially, such negotiations are believed to already be taking place. (Puls Biznesu, p. 6) A.K.
