James (Jim) Davis Jan 15, 2014:
Virginie "finalizzato l'acquisto di 100%" just means they completed all the formalities for the purchase of all the stock. That they purchased 100% means that before they owned 0%. It doesn't mean that they increased there percentage stake (except from 0 to 100%).
Virginie Mair Jan 15, 2014:
"riducendo il prezzo..." I know this may not be relevant for this specific question, but something is puzzling me when I read the whole sentence. If you increase your quote to 100% (from less than 100%, by definition), then in general, the total cost (or price etc.) will also increase - rather than decrease, as is the case here. Now, could this have to do with government incentives, see for instance: http://www.ieawind.org/annual_reports_PDF/2012/Italy.pdf
If this is the case, then MAYBE it should be reflected in the translation of "prezzo", somehow?
Or does the "riducendo" refer to an earlier acquisition cost indication (maybe they had planned to spend, say, Euro 8 million on this deal)? I don't know...

price of the investment/stake/interest

Any of those three will work well. Can't think of any reference to give. A partecipazione in this sense just means ownership of the shares (from just one to all) or stock of a company.

The cost of the investment would include ancillary transaction costs in addition to the price.
