Aon congratulates EQT Group on its announcement to invest in Kelda Holdings Limited, the parent company of Yorkshire Water, provider of critical water and wastewater services in the Yorkshire region of the UK. Aon provided transaction services and solutions for EQT on the deal. Robyn Garvie, Aon’s Enterprise Client Leader for EQT, commented: “We’re honoured to act for EQT on its second major European infrastructure transaction within a month and showcase Aon’s execution capability across the region in support of EQT’s investment strategy.” Peter Dillon, Aon’s M&A Risk & Insurance leader in EMEA, added: “Running multiple transaction advisory workstreams on transactions like this is becoming increasingly common so clients have best in class insights and risk mitigation strategies to adopt from the deal into the portfolio phase.” Federica Titon, Aon’s Transaction Solutions Lead for Financial Sponsors in EMEA, concluded: “Arranging the programme of insurance to help EQT de-risk this transaction represented a first of its kind for a variety of reasons but the overall result illustrates the impact of Aon’s financial sponsor playbook, our market relationships and a strong level of commitment from insurers.” More on the transaction: https://aon.io/4llb3lu More on Aon’s M&A capabilities: https://aon.io/48CebBN
