Shell Faces Further Delay to Germany Refinery Stake Sale, Reuters Reports

--Shell's plans to sell its 37.5% stake in the Schwedt refinery in Germany to the U.K.'s Prax Group is being delayed by pending lawsuits by third parties, Reuters reports, citing unnamed sources.

--Under the terms of the initial agreement, the two parties need to agree on an extension or renegotiate if the deal isn't completed by mid-September, Reuters writes.

--The pending lawsuits delaying the sale of the stake--valued at around 155 million-190 million euros ($172.3 million-$211.3 million)--include an attempt by the owner of the refinery, Russian energy company Rosneft, to prevent the sale, according to Reuters.

--Shell and Prax Group did not immediately respond to Dow Jones Newswires' request for comment.
