Ellaktor: Higher profitability, scenarios over its restructuring

Possible scenarios include the prospect of turning into a holding - investment company

Ellaktor is mulling scenarios for its restructuring after the sale of the largest part of its assets and the announcement of its profitability.

Possible scenarios include the prospect of turning into a holding – investment company.

In reply to a question during the recent annual general meeting, the CEO of Ellaktor, Efthymios Bouloutas, said that the actions so far have created value for the shareholder, with the Group having increased profitability, amounting to 116 million euros. “We are working on different scenarios, but the Board of Directors hasn’t made any decisions yet,” he noted.

In the next period, the sale of the subsidiary Elector to Motor Oil (94.44% of the company) is expected to be completed for a price of 114.7 million euros, and the sale of Anemos RES also to Motor Oil (which is the main shareholder of Ellaktor), Aktor in Intrakat and the Smart Park shopping park.
