AVAS receives firm bid and request to extend deadline for Avioane Craiova's privatisation

The State Assets Realisation Authority (AVAS) on Friday received a bid for the take-over of the Avioane Craiova airplane factory from Alenia Aeronautica of Italy and a request to extend the deadline for the submission of bids from the Bucharest branch of EPS Inc. Tinton Falls, AVAS informs in a press release.

The privatisation of Avioane started on October 20, 2008 with the publication of a sale announcement for an 80.9778-percent stake in the factory. Buying the presentation file of the company were four potential investors - Alenia Aeronautica of Italy; EPS Inc. Tanton Falls of the US; Grampe Bucharest and Airbus Germany.

Following talks between the Economy Ministry and AVAS, a decision was taken that AVAS continue the privatisation because the Economy Ministry has failed to register as a shareholder in Avioane Craiova SA.
