CEFC China Energy is in talks with China’s state-run CITIC Group for CITIC to take a maximum 49 percent stake in the private conglomerate’s European unit, a CEFC executive briefed on the matter told Reuters on Tuesday.
A CEFC spokesman said he couldn’t immediately comment on the matter.
CEFC Europe said late on Monday that the firm’s activities in Czech Republic would continue, and a new unnamed Chinese shareholder would join the firm.
Czech news website www.tyden.cz said without naming its sources the new shareholder would be China’s state-owned CITIC Group, and that it would take a 49 percent stake in CEFC Europe.
