After the auction, executives of TransCentralAsia said that the Kazakh have the highest share in their consortium, but refrained from giving more details.
COURSE OF AUCTION
After the three eliminatory rounds, the auction was launched at 1.68 billion USD.
In the first three rounds of the auction, the highest bid was 1,825 million USD and Carmel-Limak consortium withdrew.
Zorlu Holding withdrew from the auction in the fifth round in which the highest offer was 1.9 billion USD.
The highest bid was 1,940 million USD in the sixth round, and Calik-IOCL withdrew in this round.
TRANSCENTRALASIA-SOCAR&TURCAS
TransCentralAsia Petrochemical Holding and Socar&Turcas-Injaz were the two consortia that remained in the auction in the seventh round. In the eight round, TransCentralAsia offered 1,965 million USD, and this was raised to 2 billion USD by Socar&Turcas-Injaz. TransCentralAsia offered 2.05 billion USD in the tenth round, and Socar&Turcas-Injaz withdrew from the auction.
Thus, TransCentralAsia consortium was technically awarded with the tender.
PROCESS
After the Competition Board expresses its view about the outcome of the auction, the Tender Commission will present the result to the Supreme Board of Privatization (OYK).
If the OYK ratifies the outcome, a contract will be signed by the winner and 51 percent of Petkim shares will be transferred to the winning consortium. Thus the tender will be both technically and legally over.
