MANILA (Reuters) – A unit of investment fund Ashmore Group said on Friday it has offered to buy the remaining 60 percent stake in Philippine oil refiner Petron for nearly $827 million, which would give it full control of the company.
SEA Refinery Holdings B.V., a company owned by Ashmore Investment Management Limited, agreed to buy a 40 percent stake in Petron for $550 million from Saudi Aramco earlier this year.
