Infratil (IFT NZ): NZ$850m Placement & Index Implications

By Brian Freitas

  • Infratil Ltd (IFT NZ) is acquiring Brookfield Asset Management Lt (BAM US)‘s 49.95% stake in One NZ for NZ$1.8bn. This will be partly funded through a NZ$850m placement.
  • There will be a NZ$750m underwritten placement at NZ$9.2/share (an 8.9% discount to the last close) and a retail offering of NZ$100m.
  • There will be passive buying from index trackers post the completion of the placement and the settlement of the shares and that will remove some of the overhang.
