Greece is set to extend the deadline for Glencore Energy MX and Vitol Holding B.V. to submit final bids for a controlling stake in Hellenic Petroleum S.A. to give them more time to scrutinise Hellenic Petroleum’s finances, two sources close to the matter said. Glencore Energy and Vitol Holding were shortlisted last summer and were given until the end of January to submit bids for a 50.1% stake in Hellenic Petroleum. The privatisation agency agreed for Glencore Energy to team up with CIEP Participations, The Carlyle Group L.P. (NasdaqGS:CG) and for Vitol Holding to team up with Sonatrach. The stake is valued at 1.18 billion euros ($1.3 billion)based on January 21, 2019 closing price for Hellenic shares.
