LONDON (Reuters) -Gabon's national oil company has agreed to acquire Carlyle's Assala Energy after it used its right to preempt the sale of the business for $1.3 billion to France's Maurel & Prom, the firms said on Friday. Maurel & Prom had agreed in August to acquire Assala Energy for $730 million, a deal which also included rolling over a $600 million credit facility. But following a military coup in the west African country in late August, the Gabonese national oil firm sought to exercise its preemptive right on the acquisition in November.
French energy company Maurel & Prom said on Friday it will not acquire Carlyle's Assala Energy in Gabon as the Gabonese national oil company signed a share purchase agreement with Assala. This new share purchase agreement "supersedes" the deal made between the French firm and Carlyle, the company said. Maurel & Prom had agreed in August to acquire Assala Energy for $730 million, a deal which included rolling over a $600 million credit facility.
