Brazil's Eneva announces follow-on share offer of up to $771 mln
Corrects headline to say $771 mln, not $771 bln
SAO PAULO, July 16 (Reuters) -Brazilian energy company Eneva has engaged banks for a follow-on public share offering that could total up to 4.2 billion reais ($770.9 million), it said in a securities filing on Tuesday.
The offering will be priced at 14 reais per share for an initial total of 3.2 billion reais, with the possibility of a further issue amounting to 1 billion reais.
Eneva said the proceeds will be used to "accelerate the implementation of the company's business plan and long-term strategy", including greenfield and brownfield projects in energy generation auctions, exploratory campaigns, investments in the off-grid gas market and possible M&A activity.
Lenders BTG Pactual, Itau BBA and Bradesco are coordinating the follow-on offer.
Eneva also said it had signed a preliminary agreement with lender BTG Pactual to acquire the Tevisa and Povoacao thermal power stations and turn them into wholly-owned subsidiaries of Eneva.
The company has also signed a preliminary agreement with BTG Holding for the acquisition of 50% of the capital stock of thermal power company Gera Maranhao.
