(Alliance News) - Snam Spa on Wednesday denied rumors that it is considering issuing a convertible bond to exit the capital of Italgas Spa.

"Snam specifies that it has not taken any action in relation to the Italgas stake it holds. Hypotheses about initiated financial transactions are unfounded to date," explained the utility, which holds 13.5 percent of Italgas.

According to press sources, Snam is reportedly studying a bond and could exit Italgas by March. A hypothesis, to date, that finds no confirmation.
