30 Jun 2014

(MENAFN) Abu Dhabi investment firm Waha Capital has purchased 20.56 percent stake in Dubai-based oilfield services firm National Petroleum Services (NPS) for USD76 million last week, according to Arab News.

A number of Gulf-based investors including Fajr Capital and Arab Petroleum Investment Corp (APICORP) agreed on a deal to acquire NPS in April when the deal was worth USD500 million.

Waha was part of the consortium and that the deal, with a total equity value of USD370 million, had now closed. It did not explain the difference between its valuation of the acquisition and the figure given earlier by Fajr.
