葡萄牙政府寻求反对党支持 将TAP航空剩余50.1%股份售予汉莎

葡萄牙财政部长若阿金·米兰达·萨门托表示,葡萄牙政府正寻求反对党支持,将国家在旗舰航空公司TAP持有的剩余50.1%股份以13.51亿欧元(约合15.2亿美元)售予德国汉莎航空。
政府本周三已选定汉莎以12亿欧元收购TAP至多49.9%股份的出价;汉莎对剩余股份的提议为8.63亿欧元现金外加汉莎集团5%的股份,交易完成后TAP将实现完全私有化。萨门托对国家广播公司RTP表示,中间偏右的少数派政府支持这一提议,认为它对TAP与葡萄牙经济都有利。根据政府的方案,第二阶段出售中5%股份的估值为4.88亿欧元,最快可能在2028年年中完成。
萨门托说,5%的持股将使葡萄牙成为汉莎集团第二大股东,汉莎对TAP的发展计划将带来「多得多的员工、活跃得多的业务与高得多的收入」。反对党社会党表示,政府现在谈论TAP完全私有化为时尚早;极右翼「够了」党称将先审阅第二阶段出售的条款。(GSM 据路透社报道)
Portugal Seeks Opposition Backing to Sell Remaining 50.1% of TAP to Lufthansa
The Portuguese government is seeking opposition support to sell the state's remaining 50.1 percent stake in flag carrier TAP to Lufthansa for 1.351 billion euros ($1.52 billion), Finance Minister Joaquim Miranda Sarmento said. The government on Wednesday picked Lufthansa's 1.2 billion euro bid for up to 49.9 percent of TAP, and the German airline's offer for the remaining shares — 863 million euros in cash plus a 5 percent stake in the Lufthansa Group — would complete TAP's privatisation.
Sarmento told state broadcaster RTP that the minority centre-right government supports the proposal, which he said would benefit both the flag carrier and Portugal's economy. Under the government's presentation, the second phase, valuing the 5 percent stake at 488 million euros, could take place by mid-2028.
Sarmento said the 5 percent stake would make Portugal Lufthansa Group's second-largest shareholder and that Lufthansa's growth plans for TAP would bring "many more employees, much more activity, much higher revenues" and "far greater benefits" to Portugal's economy. The opposition Socialist Party said it was premature to talk about full privatisation, while the far-right Chega said it would first review the terms. (GSM, based on Reuters reporting)
