The transaction, to be completed in March, if successful, will see ENEOS increase its stake in Petrolimex to 2.94 percent. It had acquired a 1 percent stake last September.

Petrolimex’s PLX shares closed at VND57,300 on February 24, and at this price the deal will cost ENEOS around VND1.4 trillion ($62 million).

The company’s subsidiary, JX Nippon Oil & Energy Vietnam Consulting and Holdings Company Limited, owns another 8 percent stake in Petrolimex.

ENEOS is the largest oil company in Japan with a 47 percent market share.

In 2020, due to the impact of Covid-19, Petrolimex saw revenues fall 34.5 percent to VND123.9 trillion. Its net profit was VND1.2 trillion, a 73.6 percent fall.
