Antin Infrastructure Partners: Boosting Growth and Confidence with Share Issuance

Antin Infrastructure Partners, a leading private equity firm focused on infrastructure, has made an exciting announcement regarding the issuance of shares following the first vesting of their free share plan. This move showcases the firm's commitment to aligning the interests of their partners and shareholders, while also demonstrating their confidence in Antin's growth and value-creation potential.

On September 27, 2023, 4,216,611 ordinary shares were vested to the next generation of partners as part of the free share plan that was established during the Initial Public Offering (IPO). These newly issued shares have increased the share capital by €42,166.11.

To cover the tax liabilities arising from the vesting, the Executive Committee has granted permission to four beneficiaries of the free share plan to sell a portion of their shares. However, it is important to note that the lock-up put in place at the time of the IPO remains unchanged, and all shares owned by the partners continue to be wholly owned as per the lock-up obligations.

In a significant move, the shares sold by the beneficiaries of the free share plan have been acquired by Antin and a group of partners, further strengthening the alignment of interest between partners and shareholders. This acquisition reflects the partners' confidence in Antin's future growth and value creation.

The transactions performed include the following:

1. Antin acquired 300,000 shares for €3,792,000. These shares will be allocated over the coming years to future share-based compensation schemes in the ordinary course of business. This acquisition was made using the authorization granted by shareholders at the 2023 Annual Shareholders' Meeting.

2. A group of partners, including Alain Rauscher, Chairman and CEO, acquired 1,178,370 shares by investing €14,833,397 in Antin.

With these transactions, Antin Infrastructure Partners continues to expand its presence as a leading player in the infrastructure sector. The issuance of shares and subsequent acquisitions demonstrate the firm's dedication to aligning the interests of partners and shareholders, while also driving growth and value creation.
