The initial agreement for the operation had been announced
in July, also in a statement to CMVM.
In addition to the purchase price, the transaction also
provides for an "additional success fee to be paid during 2023-28 that
will be dependent on the solar capacity delivered by Kronos in the same
period".
"The transaction also includes a 'call/put option'
regarding the other 30% minority interest held by Kronos' founders, who will
continue to be involved in the daily management of the business, exercisable
from 2028 onwards, with the option price to be defined by the status of Kronos'
renewable projects under development at that date," the statement added.
EDP Renováveis recalled in the same text that "Kronos
has an efficient development team with extensive experience in developing solar
projects and a portfolio of 9.4 GW (7.5 GWac) of solar projects, in different
stages of development, located in Germany (4.5 GW), France (2.7 GW), the
Netherlands (1.2 GW) and the United Kingdom (0.9 GW)".
In this way, the company "expands its presence to 12
markets in Europe, which in total represent more than 90% of the solar capacity
additions expected in the European Union by 2030".
