The acquisition was carried out by Eni Gas & Power Belgium SA ("Eni Belgium"), a Belgian company wholly controlled by Eni S.p.A.
The agreed price for the acquisition of the Majority Stake was 2,738.88 million euro, equal to 6,809.64 euro per Distrigas share plus an additional amount to be paid in certain circumstances (as described below).

On November 3, 2008, Eni Belgium notified the Majority Stake acquisition to the CBFA, submitting the draft prospectus of the Takeover Bid to the CBFA.
Pursuant to the Royal Decree, the acceptance period of the Takeover Bid should start within 40 business days after the completion of the Majority Stake acquisition.
For each Distrigas share tendered pursuant to the Takeover Bid, Eni Belgium will pay:
