GMR to divest its 40% shareholding in Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen International Airport

31 Dec 2013 Evaluate

GMR Infrastructures’ group company - GMR Group had signed a definitive agreement with Malaysian Airports Holding Berhard (MAHB) to divest its 40% equity stake in Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen (ISG) and LGM Tourism, for 225 million euros amounting Rs 1,910 crore, subject to certain adjustments. This definitive agreement has been signed subsequent to the exercise of Right of First Refusal by MAHB under the existing shareholders agreement of ISG, on December 23, 2013. Rothschild (India) and White & Case LLP acted as Financial Advisors and Legal Counsels respectively to GMR Group.

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions including the approval of the relevant government authorities and the project lenders to ISG. This is the second major divestment of overseas assets by the GMR Group in less than nine months. Earlier in March 2013, the Group had divested its stakes in GMR Energy (Singapore). The divestment of these two assets is estimated to release around Rs 3,500 crore of capital, simultaneously reducing an estimated Rs 5,000 crore of debt.

Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport is located on the Anatolian side of Istanbul and is one of the world’s fastest-growing airports. The airport currently hosts more than 58 different carriers covering over 125 destinations. The consortium of Limak Holding, GMR Group and MAHB was selected as the preferred bidder for upgrading and maintaining the airport in July 2007.
