According to sources, the enterprise value for Urbaser stands between €2.21 billion (US$2.47 billion) and €2.46 billion (US$2.75 billion), while the transaction price is estimated between €1.16billion (US$1.3 billion) and €1.40 billion (US$1.57 billion).

This is not the first time that ACS aims to sell Urbaser. In 2008, ACS tried to sell the company to use the funds to reduce 50 % of the Group's debt.
