Italy's Atlantia SpA (ATL.MI) said Friday that it will buy Aero
1 Global & International, an investment vehicle that holds a
15.5% stake in Groupe Eurotunnel SE (GET.FR), for 1.06 billion
euros ($1.29 billion).
Aero 1 is currently owned by an infrastructure fund managed by
Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS), and the transaction isn't subject to
any condition, Atlantia said.
Groupe Eurotunnel, or Getlink, operates three tunnels under the
English Channel and two terminals under a concession agreement that
expires in 2086, according to Atlantia.
In 2017, Getlink had earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization of EUR526 million on revenue of
EUR1.03 billion, Atlantia said.
The purchase price equates to EUR12.40 per Getlink share, a
premium of almost 19% on the company's closing price on
Thursday.
Shares in Getlink rose nearly 15% on news of the deal.
