VARO announces growth of retail activities in The Netherlands
VARO Energy (“VARO”) announced that the company has signed an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares in Inter Oil B.V., the holding company of retail and wholesale businesses operating under the brand names “Brand Oil” and “Amigo” in the Netherlands.

Through this acquisition, VARO will expand its retail network in the Netherlands by 84 gas stations mostly situated in the north-east of the country. Together with the existing retail service station network, which VARO operates under the brand “Argos”, the company will be running nearly 150 fuel service stations in the Netherlands and Germany. The newly acquired assets will continue to be present in the market under the existing brand names. The current owners will keep an active role in the transition and integration of the acquired activities into the existing VARO organisation.

VARO CEO Roger Brown said: “With this transaction, we significantly strengthen our company’s position in the retail segment in line with our strategy to grow as an integrated logistical service provider in North West Europe. This represents another step forward in our commitment to continuously expand and improve our customer offers.”

Inter Oil directors Cor Brandsma and Arjen Sietsma commented: “We are excited to join VARO. With the strong support of our new shareholder, we are uniquely positioned to continue to successfully grow the activities developed through Inter Oil. We look forward to continue to strengthen the presence of “Brand Oil” and “Amigo” in the fuel retail market.”

The closing of this transaction is anticipated to take place early 2017, subject to the approval of the Dutch competition authorities.
