The European Commission is requiring Lotos to sell 80% of its petrol stations and a 30% stake in its oil refinery business as a condition for its acquisition by Polish peer PKN Orlen, Radio Zet said.
Lotos has 700-800 petrol stations with a book value of USD 1.5-2 million apiece.
Saudi Aramco will acquire a stake in Lotos' refinery business, the broadcaster said.
MOL confirmed in August that it is interested in the Polish retail fuel market.
