ABO Energy GmbH & Co. KGaA (“Company”) has signed an agreement to sell the majority of
the project pipeline of its subsidiary ABO Energy Suomi Oy (“Subsidiary”), Helsinki
(“Transaction”) to Fortum Oyj (“Buyer”), a leading energy company in Finland. The project
pipeline of the Subsidiary held for sale comprises projects at various stages which amount to
approximately 4.4 gigawatt.
The purchase price comprises a payment at closing in the amount of about EUR 42.2 million on
a debt-and-cash-free basis. Closing is expected in the fourth quarter of 2025. In addition to the
purchase price, the transaction includes earn-out payments in the coming years which are
subject to projects successfully reaching a final investment decision in the future. The
Company expects these payments to add up to another mid-range double-digit million euro
amount over the next few years. The Company will not be involved in the further development
of the projects from the pipeline and will have no influence on the extent to which earn-out
payments will be achieved.
The Transaction will reduce the Company’s market share in the Finnish market notably,
thereby enabling the Company to focus on implementing its project pipeline in other European
markets, particularly in Germany, France and Spain.
The Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions including obtaining the necessary
regulatory approvals in the relevant jurisdictions.
For the time being, the Company does not expect the Transaction to result in any adjustment to
the profit forecast for the 2025 financial year.
