The new owners of Italy's Atlantia SpA have completed a squeeze-out and delisted the infrastructure firm following a 12.7 billion-euro ($13.40 billion) takeover, supported with an EUR 8.225bn debt financing.
Schema Alfa--an investment vehicle comprising U.S. fund Blackstone Inc. and Italy's Benetton family--said that Atlantia is now delisted from the Milan exchange, and is fully in the hands of its new owners.
Atlantia is an Italian-based holding company active in the infrastructure sector, engaged in toll road and airport management. Currently listed in the Borsa Italiana, the company was founded back in 1950 with the aim of contributing to the post-war reconstruction of Italy.
The company operates through five segments: Italian motorways, Overseas motorways (mostly run by Albertis, one of world’s leaders in toll roads management in which Atlantia holds a 50% stake since 2018 , and the other half being owned by ACS), Italian airports, Overseas airports, and other activities, which include infrastructure-related services, such as engineering, maintenance and electronic payment services provided through the Company’s subsidiaries. It operates more than 14,000 kilometres of toll motorways in over 24 countries across Europe, Americas, and Asia, and owns and runs airports in Italy, including Aeroporti di Roma, and in France (Aéroports de la Côte d’Azur).
