The latterfigure includes debt and adjustments) (For more Reuters DEALTALKS, please click DEALTALK/) By Catherine Hornby and Quentin Webb AMSTERDAM/LONDON, Jan 13 (Reuters) -Swedish power groupVattenfall, which lost out to German rival RWE (RWEG.DE) in therace for Essent, will now be a strong contender for a stake inthe Dutch utility's smaller domestic rival Nuon. Both transactions stem from Dutch demands that utilitiessplit regulated and unregulated businesses. And with few mergeropportunities in Europe's already rather consolidated utilitiessector, both have drawn interest despite gloom elsewhere in themergers and acquisitions market. Goldman Sachs and ING are advising Nuon on the sale of aninitial 40 percent of its production and delivery business. If premiums are as high as on the Essent deal, the businesscould be valued at 7.2 billion euros, according to SocieteGenerale analyst Herve Gay in Paris.
And in the event of a full takeover, "the only firm that hasvery large financial flexibility to buy Nuon is Vattenfall," Gaysaid. Belgium's Electrabel would not be allowed to expand furtheron competition grounds while France's EDF "has probably endedits shopping spree after its acquisitions in the UK and theU.S.," he added. "Nuon is a nice second prize," one of the sources said."They are very, very focused on it." That source said Denmark's DONG Energy DONG.UL and Italy'sENI (ENI.MI) had also been potential buyers of Essent, and couldbe interested in Nuon. Vattenfall said on Tuesday it would not comment on possibledeals on Tuesday but reaffirmed it was in general interested inthe Netherlands. BATTLE-SCARRED Essent's takeover, announced on Monday, had an equity valueof 8.2 billion euros, or 9.3 billion including debt andadjustments. That equated to an enterprise value of 9.6 times 2009earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation(EBITDA) a multiple little changed from pre-credit crisisdeals. And the 9 billion euros of loans backing the deal suggestsbattle-scarred banks are still prepared to lend, even if only tokey clients in stable industries.
