KIT invests in Global Marine Group with a 46.7% stake acquisition

KIF and its co-investor will hold the remaining 53.3% equity stake in GMG.

Keppel’s infrastructure private fund, Keppel Infrastructure Fund (KIF), and Keppel Infrastructure Fund Management (KIFM), the trustee-manager of Keppel Infrastructure Trust (KIT), have entered into a deal for KIT’s proposed subscription of a 46.7% equity stake in Global Marine Group (GMG).

KIT will be entering the deal at the same valuation as KIF, and KIT’s aggregate investment is expected to be $122.3m (US$90.6m).

GMG is an independent subsea cable solutions provider, maintaining 31% of the global maintained cable length. Post divestment, KIF and its co-investor will hold the remaining 53.3% equity stake in GMG.

“With a substantial proportion of GMG’s business secured by long-term contracts, this investment will generate long-term, stable cash flows for KIT with a 3.5% DPU accretion based on pro forma FY2024 DPU,” Kevin Neo, chief executive officer of KIFM, said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
