In June, INA and MOL announced that they agreed to acquire a 92.25% stake in OMV Slovenija from Austrian oil, gas and chemicals group OMV without disclosing the value of the deal.
However, OMV said in a separate statement that the agreed purchase price amounts to 301 million euro ($355.5 million) for a 100% stake. MOL is the largest shareholder of INA with almost 50%, followed by the Croatian government with some 45%.
