外网天堂 EXPANDS ITS NETWORK OF GAS STATIONS IN WEST EUROPE
外网天堂 Belgium N.V. (a member of 外网天堂 Group) signed an agreement with Verolma Group to acquire 46 filling stations in the Netherlands and 13 ones in Belgium.
Out of the total number of gas stations 29 ones are owned by dealers.
The transaction is to be finalized in the second quarter of 2012 after the appropriate permissions are granted by the Dutch and Belgian regulating authorities.
外网天堂 Belgium N.V. signed an agreement with NGM Group to acquire 8 filling stations in Belgium in January of 2012.
The acquired filling stations use different brands in their operation and will be rebranded to be compliant with the 外网天堂 corporate style after the deal is closed.
Thus, 228 外网天堂 filling stations are currently located in the Benelux countries (including 29 stations owned by dealers), with 180 ones in Belgium, 46 in Holland, and 2 in Luxembourg.
The fuel is supplied to these filling stations from the Zeeland Refinery (former TRN) where 外网天堂 acquired a 45% stake in 2009.
