ATP, Macquarie et le RREO annonce une transaction avec les aéroports de Copenhague

COPENHAGEN – Arbejdsmarkedets Tillægspension ("ATP"), Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets (MIRA) and Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan ("Ontario Teachers'") are pleased to announce the signing of a transaction that will change the ultimate shareholding of Copenhagen Airports A/S ("CPH"). By announcement of 23 May 2017, Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets (Europe) Limited on behalf of Macquarie European Infrastructure Fund III ("MEIF3") informed CPH that it would undertake a strategic review of MEIF3's investment in CPH. Following this announcement, MEIF3 offered for sale its securities in Kastrup Airport Parents ApS ("KAP"), a holding company which indirectly holds a 57.7% ownership in CPH, to Ontario Teachers'. Today Ontario Teachers' has exercised its preemptive right to acquire MEIF3's stake in KAP.

Ontario Teachers' has partnered with Danish pension plan ATP which will provide the financing to fully fund the transaction which is valued at approximately DKK 9.8 billion (€1.3 billion) (such amount subject to change depending on the completion date of the transaction). Completion of the transaction is expected to occur during Q4 2017. As a result of the transaction, ATP will become a direct shareholder in KAP and, together with Ontario Teachers', the two will hold an indirect ownership of 57.7% of CPH.

"ATP is now becoming a significant investor in Copenhagen Airports. The airport in Copenhagen is key infrastructure in Denmark and we are proud to be one of its stewards going forward. We are keen to work together with all stakeholders to further develop the airport and contribute to its long-term continuation as a critical transportation hub in northern Europe to the benefit of both the Danish society as well as the members in ATP." said Christian Hyldahl, Chief Executive Officer, ATP Group.

"Macquarie is proud of the investments and focus that have contributed to making Copenhagen Airport one of the largest and best connected airports in Northern Europe. In the period of our 12 year ownership Copenhagen Airport invested over DKK 10 billion and it now has both state of the art and low cost terminals, the largest international route network in the Nordics and excellent transport links across Denmark and Southern Sweden. The airport is powerfully positioned, with the support of its new shareholder in ATP, to continue to grow and provide choice, competition and convenience as well as make a significant economic contribution to the Danish economy" said Martin Stanley, Global Head of MIRA.

"Having strong, long-term investment partners is crucial as we support Copenhagen Airports in delivering the best possible experience for its customers," said Andrew Claerhout, Senior Managing Director, Infrastructure and Natural Resources at Ontario Teachers'. "During our more than six years as a partner with Macquarie, Copenhagen Airports has received numerous industry awards for its quality and efficiency. We look forward to continuing and growing on this track record of success in what will be our second partnership with ATP, with whom we are strongly aligned in our focus on long-term value creation."

Completion of the acquisition is subject to approval by the EU Commission pursuant to the EU Merger Regulation (EUMR). Ontario Teachers' and ATP expect that completion of the transaction will result in joint control of the 57.7 % indirect shareholding in CPH and ultimately the issuance of a mandatory tender offer for the remaining shares in CPH. The tender offer is also conditional on completion taking place and will be fully financed by ATP.

The tender offer price (per share of CPH) will be based on the price paid for MEIF3's securities in KAP in relation to the transaction, adjusted for third party debt financing, certain liabilities and cash in KAP and in its subsidiaries that hold the shares in CPH (all together, the Tender Price). The transaction value and the adjustments, as well as the Tender Price, are subject to change depending on the date of completion.

Ontario Teachers' and ATP estimate that the transaction value of approximately DKK 9.8 billion will imply a Tender Price in their tender offer of approximately DKK 5,700 per share in CPH based on an illustrative completion date of mid November 2017, however, such Tender Price shall be determined based on the transaction value and adjustments established on the actual completion date and be subject to approval of the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority of the tender offer document and the price offered. MEIF3 is not involved with, and assumes no responsibility or liability for, the mandatory tender offer and for determining the Tender Price.

External factors described herein are outside the control of Ontario Teachers', ATP or MEIF3 and thus there is no certainty that the transaction will complete or that a subsequent tender offer will be issued.
