PRAGUE (Reuters) – Royal Dutch/Shell says it will not exercise its option to buy extra shares in top Czech oil refinery Ceska Rafinerska, held by state-controlled group Unipetrol.
Shell is the first of three Unipetrol partners in Rafinerska — the other two are ENI’s Agip and ConocoPhillips — to react on an obligatory buyout offer made by Unipetrol in June.
Shell said on Monday it would keep its existing 16.3 percent stake in the refinery.
Unipetrol could get $235 million (131 million pounds) if partners bought all of its 51 percent of the shares in Rafinerska, a source close to the deal said earlier this summer.
But analysts said that control over its main subsidiary was more important than cash for Unipetrol.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
