“The operation contemplates the acquisition in cash, by Enerside, of part of the AGE shares of the new company, for a total amount of €3 million at the time of signing, after the corresponding due diligence. As a result, Enerside will have a controlling interest of approximately 62% and AGE the remaining 38%,” stated the Spanish company.
