(Bloomberg) -- Polish biggest oil refiner, state-run PKN Orlen SA, signed a letter of intent with the government to acquire a controlling stake in country’s biggest gas company PGNiG SA.

Orlen, which just received the European Commission’s approval for its merger with smaller peer Grupa Lotos SA, will analyze the “optimal model” for the transaction, it said in a regulatory filing.
