Judge Jesús Gabaldón Codesido, in charge of the liquidation of Abengoa’s most valuable assets, has decided to award those businesses to Cox Energy, the Spanish renewables group founded by Enrique Riquelme. This brings to an end a long process that began months ago, following the collapse of Abengoa, the largest industrial bankruptcy in Spain so far. Santander, CaixaBank, BBVA, Crédit Agricole and HSBC have five days to validate the operation….
The sale of Abengoa’s production subsidiaries is now in its final phase. All that remains is for the judge to make his decision in a process in which four bidders stand out: Urbas, Cox Energy, Terramar and RCP. The fifth bidder in the initial round of bids, Ultramar, has not submitted an improved offer.With all the documents delivered to the Mercantile Court number three in Seville on 3 March, the…
The Central Government and the Andalusian Regional Government agreed on Monday to “delimit” the network of around 300 subsidiaries of multinational Abengoa that could be saved. This will necessarily require them to have business activity and a workload. In any case, the operation will require the backing of Brussels, according to both administrations. Their work begins this Tuesday with a technical working group to analyse the viability plan presented by…
Abengoa has submitted to the State Industrial Ownership Corporation (SEPI) all the documentation and information required to obtain new financing for a total amount of 249 million euros from the Solvency Support Fund for Strategic Companies. “The application for this SEPI Financing continues to be processed, having submitted all the documentation and information required by SEPI”, the Andalusian company said in a statement sent to the Spanish National Securities Market…
Abengoa has informed the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV) that Ernst & Young has requested the 3rd section of the Commercial Court of Seville to suspend the powers of the board of directors. E&Y, at the request of the judge, is in charge of the bankruptcy administration of the company (with more than 5 billion in debt).

Abengoa would have demanded the Solvency Support Fund for Strategic Companies from the Spanish government, a tool designed to help companies affected by the pandemic, for the rescue of its company Abenewco 1, to which it transferred the most valuable assets and activities of the broken parent company. The group would try to preserve these assets and to keep operating a subsidiary in which almost 13,000 employees are still working.
This operation will serve as compensation for the creditors and suppliers who will assume the removal and capitalization of Abengoa debt. The companies up for sale should be transferred within a year. Most of them are projects which have had the “for sale” sign on them for a while, and their valuation has deteriorated. In 2019, the 10 main assets had a net book value of €1.557 Bn and a negative impact compared to 2018 of €118 M. This is in line with the restructuring agreement approved on August 6.
Abengoa’s risk profile was already very high but this has been aggravated to the point where there is no possibility of business continuity due to the situation resulting from the Covid-19. Abengoa and the banks are negotiating against the clock to find a solution that will allow the company to receive 300 million euros before July 31 and avoid bankruptcy proceedings.
