ING has entered Indra, surfacing this Wednesday the purchase of 6.98% of the leading company in the national defense sector between direct participation and derivatives. The operation comes on the day that Pedro Sánchez highlighted at the World Economic Forum in Davos the potential of the listed company as the driver of the emerging arms business.
ING’s operation focuses on a direct participation of Indra, of 1.8%, and the acquisition of financial instruments for 5.1% of the capital, according to the information provided to the National Securities Market Commission (CNMV). At market price the value would be more than 190 million.
These types of operations are usually carried out in the name of third parties, which would result in the purchase of a significant shareholding package by a company that already participates in Indra or the emergence of a new shareholder. Neither Indra nor the CNMV know who may be behind this acquisition.
In Indra’s capital, the State Society of Industrial Participations (SEPI) stands out, which has 28%, followed by Escribano (8%), Sapa (7.94%), the Fidelity fund (7.88%) and Amber Capital (7.24%).
