Keppel Infrastructure to acquire 49.4% interest in new JV with MET Group

The company will pay an aggregate amount of $42.6m for the acquisition.

Keppel Infrastructure (KI) will acquire a 49.9% equity interest in MET Italian Green Assets Holding AG from MET Green Assets, a wholly-owned subsidiary of MET Group.

KI will acquire the shares through Keppel Renewables Switzerland Holding AG (KRSH), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Keppel Corporation.

KRSH will pay an aggregate amount of $42.6m (EUR30m) for the acquisition. Of the total amount, $40.83m (EUR28.75m) will be paid as consideration for the shares. 

The remaining amount of $1.78m (EUR1.25m) will be paid for the assignment by MET Green Assets to KRSH of 49.9% of the existing shareholders loan extended by MET Green Assets to Keppel MET Renewables. 

Following Keppel’s acquisition, MET Italian Green Assets Holding AG will be renamed  Keppel MET Renewables Holding AG (Keppel MET Renewables).

As part of the deal, Keppel Energy Switzerland Holding AG (KESH) --- the founding shareholder of KRSH and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of KI --- divested 10% of the 20% equity interests it owns in the MET Group to its founder and CEO, Benjamin Lakatos, for $45.2m (EUR 31.86m).

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
