Industry:    3 days ago

Shareholders of AES Corp ‌have filed two complaints against the U.S. utility group’s planned $33.4 ​billion sale to a consortium ​led by BlackRock’s Global Infrastructure ⁠Partners and Swedish private-equity firm ​EQT, the power company ​said in a filing on Friday.

Stockholders of the company are seeking to ​block the AES acquisition, ​while they seek more details about ‌the deal that was announced in March as one of the largest of a recent ​surge ​of ⁠U.S. power mergers driven by rising electricity demand.

AES ​denied in the ​filing ⁠with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that it did ⁠not ​submit all ​details required.
