CNP Assurances, CDC Infrastructure and Caisse des Depots have partnered to buy a stake in GDF Suez’s French gas grid. The consortium has offered €1.1 billion to acquire a 25% minority interest in GRTgaz. GDF Suez appointed BNP Paribas and Rothschild to advise it on the deal, while CDC and CNP hired Nomura as an adviser, adds Reuters.
