(TSE:9532), Sumitomo Corporation (TSE:8053), Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) and Konoike Transport Co.,Ltd. (TSE:9025) is planning to double its stake in city gas distribution company AG&P Pratham ahead of its IPO planned next year, according to sources aware of the development. This will make the consortium a majority stakeholder in the I-Squared Capital-backed company, which was last year valued at $1.5 billion. Currently, infrastructure investor I-Squared Capital is the majority stakeholder with a 56% stake in AG&P Pratham. Osaka, Sumitomo, JBIC and Konoike Transport together hold 26%. The balance of 18% is with Singapore-based Atlantic Gulf & Pacific (AG&P) LNG, the sources added. “The Japanese consortium including Osaka Gas is very interested and willing to increase their stake in AG&P Pratham. I-Squared Capital will dilute their stake for the Japanese consortium to increase the stake,” said an official aware of the development, adding that AG&P is planning an IPO in the second half of 2026 and the stake dilution will take place before that. Last March, I-Squared Capital decided to merge the operations of its city gas distribution companies in India — AG&P Pratham and Think Gas Distribution. The combined entity is valued at around $1.5 billion. The merger is awaiting regulatory approvals. “The merged entity will operate for a year before filing for an IPO. The management is also planning to rename the company shortly,” said another source, adding that the company's new identity could be unveiled at the India Energy Week to be held in New Delhi next week. “After the regulatory approvals, AG&P Pratham will go for an IPO. I-Squared wants to dilute stake and the Japanese consortium plans to become a majority stake holder. If I-Squared Capital dilutes up to 20% stake and the Japanese consortium decides to pick it up, its shareholding could go up to 46%,” said the official aware of the development. In an emailed response, an Osaka Gas spokesperson said: “Neither our company nor the J-Consortium has made any decisions regarding additional investments or becoming a majority shareholder.” An AG&P Pratham spokesperson said: “At this time, we are unable to provide any comment regarding our future plans.” I-Squared Capital did not respond to an email seeking comment.Reported Earnings • Feb 04Third quarter 2025 earnings: EPS misses analyst expectationsThird quarter 2025 results: EPS: JP¥99.66 (up from JP¥89.51 in 3Q 2024).

Owner Santos Limited (ASX:STO) is understood to have had four or five parties in a data room, in a process run by investment bank Goldman Sachs. Among them are believed to be Kufpec (Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Exploration Company K.S.C.) and at least one Japanese suitor, with Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (TSE:8031) and Mitsubishi Corporation (TSE:8058) likely candidates. Other likely parties are Tokyo Gas Co.,Ltd. (TSE:9531), Osaka Gas Co., Ltd. (TSE:9532) and Jadestone Energy plc (AIM:JSE). But the latest chatter in the market is that Santos is pinning its hopes on CPC investing further. CPC recently finalised a deal with Carnarvon, the other owner of the project, to buy a 10% interest in Dorado and its Pavo project for an all-up payment of $146 million. Santos has an 80% interest in Dorado and the thinking in the market is that it remains keen to reduce that exposure to about 60%. Azure Capital-advised Carnarvon Energy was the only other holder before CPC bought in. Dorado, once owned by Woodside Petroleum and later Quadrant Energy before it was purchased by Santos, is an integrated oil and gas project that will be developed in two phases. It is located in the Bedout sub-basin, about 140km off the coast of WA's Port Hedland.New Risk • Aug 02New major risk - Revenue and earnings growthEarnings are forecast to decline by an average of 3.3% per year for the foreseeable future.

Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (3.9% operating cash flow to total debt).

공시 • Feb 11Japanese Investors May Acquire Majority Stake in PrathamThe Japanese consortium of Osaka Gas Co., Ltd. (TSE:9532), Sumitomo Corporation (TSE:8053), Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) and Konoike Transport Co.,Ltd. (TSE:9025) is planning to double its stake in city gas distribution company AG&P Pratham ahead of its IPO planned next year, according to sources aware of the development. This will make the consortium a majority stakeholder in the I-Squared Capital-backed company, which was last year valued at $1.5 billion. Currently, infrastructure investor I-Squared Capital is the majority stakeholder with a 56% stake in AG&P Pratham. Osaka, Sumitomo, JBIC and Konoike Transport together hold 26%. The balance of 18% is with Singapore-based Atlantic Gulf & Pacific (AG&P) LNG, the sources added. “The Japanese consortium including Osaka Gas is very interested and willing to increase their stake in AG&P Pratham. I-Squared Capital will dilute their stake for the Japanese consortium to increase the stake,” said an official aware of the development, adding that AG&P is planning an IPO in the second half of 2026 and the stake dilution will take place before that. Last March, I-Squared Capital decided to merge the operations of its city gas distribution companies in India — AG&P Pratham and Think Gas Distribution. The combined entity is valued at around $1.5 billion. The merger is awaiting regulatory approvals. “The merged entity will operate for a year before filing for an IPO. The management is also planning to rename the company shortly,” said another source, adding that the company's new identity could be unveiled at the India Energy Week to be held in New Delhi next week. “After the regulatory approvals, AG&P Pratham will go for an IPO. I-Squared wants to dilute stake and the Japanese consortium plans to become a majority stake holder. If I-Squared Capital dilutes up to 20% stake and the Japanese consortium decides to pick it up, its shareholding could go up to 46%,” said the official aware of the development. In an emailed response, an Osaka Gas spokesperson said: “Neither our company nor the J-Consortium has made any decisions regarding additional investments or becoming a majority shareholder.” An AG&P Pratham spokesperson said: “At this time, we are unable to provide any comment regarding our future plans.” I-Squared Capital did not respond to an email seeking comment.

공시 • Aug 25CPC Reportedly Set for Dorado StakeCPC Corporation, Taiwan is being tipped as the most likely buyer of an additional stake in the Dorado oil and gas project off the coast of Western Australia. Owner Santos Limited (ASX:STO) is understood to have had four or five parties in a data room, in a process run by investment bank Goldman Sachs. Among them are believed to be Kufpec (Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Exploration Company K.S.C.) and at least one Japanese suitor, with Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (TSE:8031) and Mitsubishi Corporation (TSE:8058) likely candidates. Other likely parties are Tokyo Gas Co.,Ltd. (TSE:9531), Osaka Gas Co., Ltd. (TSE:9532) and Jadestone Energy plc (AIM:JSE). But the latest chatter in the market is that Santos is pinning its hopes on CPC investing further. CPC recently finalised a deal with Carnarvon, the other owner of the project, to buy a 10% interest in Dorado and its Pavo project for an all-up payment of $146 million. Santos has an 80% interest in Dorado and the thinking in the market is that it remains keen to reduce that exposure to about 60%. Azure Capital-advised Carnarvon Energy was the only other holder before CPC bought in. Dorado, once owned by Woodside Petroleum and later Quadrant Energy before it was purchased by Santos, is an integrated oil and gas project that will be developed in two phases. It is located in the Bedout sub-basin, about 140km off the coast of WA's Port Hedland.
