Australia's Macquarie Group (ASX:MQG) and Singapore's sovereign wealth fund GIC are considering a disposal of its roughly 30% stake in Philippine company Energy Development Corp (EDC) for an estimated $2 billion, Reuters reported on Oct. 22, citing two sources familiar with the matter.
Talks with advisors are in a preliminary stage, according to the unnamed sources.
A Macquarie Asset Management-led consortium, including GIC affiliate Arran Investment, acquired a stake in the renewable energy firm in 2017. It offered to pay roughly $1.3 billion for up to 31.7% of EDC.
Macquarie Group, GIC, and EDC did not immediately respond to a request from MT Newswires for comment.
