Japan's Marubeni says to cut Gavilon energy arm out of takeover Jun 10th 2013, 00:32 TOKYO, June 10 | Sun Jun 9, 2013 8:32pm EDT TOKYO, June 10 (Reuters) - Japanese trading house Marubeni Corp said it will cut Gavilon's energy business out of its planned takeover of the U.S. commodity merchant, reducing the size of the transaction to $2.6 billion plus debt. The trading company said in a statement on Monday it had modified the terms of the acquisition which was originally valued at a $5.6 billion acquisition, including $2 billion of debt. "Marubeni will acquire all of the assets and businesses of Gavilon except the energy business," the statement said. The statement didn't give details of the amount of debt being assumed in the revised transaction, but said the sellers would receive $2.6 billion in cash while retaining the energy business. The move confirms a Reuters report on Friday. Omaha, Nebraska-based Gavilon's shareholders include investor George Soros, Dwight Anderson's Ospraie hedge fund, and Egypt's Orascom Construction Industries.
