中国石化新闻网讯 据国外媒体6月25日东京报道，日本著名贸易商社伊藤忠商事日前出售了其在美国油气生产公司萨姆松资源公司中持有的股份。伊藤忠商事和一个由其他投资者组成的财团在2011年以72亿美元的价格收购了萨姆松资源公司。

伊藤忠商事周二在一份声明中说，由于萨姆松资源公司回报潜力不断下降以及美洲的低气价，该公司日前以1美元的价格出售了其在萨姆松资源公司中持有的10亿美元的股份。

伊藤忠商事是一个以美国私募基金KKR为首投资财团的成员，该投资财团在2011年12月以72亿美元的价格收购了总部设在俄克拉荷马市的萨姆松资源公司，该收购在当时属于最大的举债收购。

伊藤忠商事是日本仅次于三菱和三井的第三大通用贸易公司。作为收购协议的一部分，伊藤忠商事当时以10亿美元的价格收购了萨姆松资源公司的25%股份。

Japanese Trader Itochu Dumps $1 Bln Stake in US Shale for $1

World Oil & Gas News

25.06.2015

The Japanese trading house Itochu has sold its stake in Samson Resources, which was bought by Itochu and a consortium of other investors for $7.2 billion in 2011.

The Japanese trading company Itochu has sold its stake in US oil and gas producer Samson Resources for $1, due to the company's declining return potential and low gas prices in North America, the trading house said on Tuesday in a statement.

The trading house was one of an investment consortium led by equity firm KKR, which bought the Oklahoma-based company for $7.2 billion in December 2011, a sum reported at the time to be the largest leveraged buyout of that year.

Itochu, Japan's third-largest general trading company after Mitsubishi and Matsui, acquired a 25 percent stake in Samson as part of the deal.
