No shortage of buyers for PRInż

German Bilfinger Berger (BB) has failed to reach an agreement with Mostostal Zabrze (MZ) and bank BGŻ to take over 50% of road construction company PRInż. The final deadline has passed and BB has now lost its exclusive negotiating rights. The parties were unable to agree on the final price of the stake. According to MZ president Jerzy Suchnicki, BB's doubts, which were revealed by Puls Biznesu, about two of PRInż's contracts were exaggerated. "The Germans were pointing at a non-existent risk, as the contracts are properly secured," said Suchnicki. MZ and BGŻ will soon start negotiations with another company interested in acquiring PRInż - French Eiffage. "I also received offers from financial investors willing to buy the company, but as the German side had exclusive negotiating rights, we had did not not replied to them. Now we will," claims Suchnicki. A deal with not be easy as the sale will only go through if the price is right - which is likely to be around zł. 140 million. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 6) M.M.
