RE: Slim Buys the Dip to Boost Stakes in US Oil Firms PBF, Talos6 Aug 2024 20:51
Before today.....
HOUSTON, Sept. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Talos Energy Inc. ("Talos" or the "Company") (NYSE: TALO) and its Mexican subsidiary ("Talos Mexico") today announced the closing of the sale of a 49.9% interest in Talos Mexico to Zamajal, S. A. de C.V., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Grupo Carso ("Carso"), a company controlled by the family of the Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim.
As consideration for the sale, Talos received $74.85 million in cash at closing, with an additional $49.90 million due upon first production, for an aggregate price of $124.75 million. Talos Mexico, now owned 50.1% by Talos Energy and 49.9% by Carso, holds a 17.4% interest in the Zama field. Talos will remain the controlling shareholder of Talos Mexico.
So after today our friend increased his stake in Talos and therefore Zama.
Now why on earth would the richest man in Asia be so interested in Zama....
Any thoughts ???
