On 20 December 2016 EQT Infrastructure through Skynet Invest ApS and the shareholders in GlobalConnect A/S have signed a share sale and purchase agreement concerning the sale of 100% of their shares in GlobalConnect A/S. Skynet Invest ApS will thereby acquire 100% of the total share capital in GlobalConnect A/S (excluding GlobalConnect A/S' own shares).
The founding Zibrandtsen family will reinvest part of its proceeds in the new holding structure of GlobalConnect A/S and enter into a strategic partnership with EQT Infrastructure. Upon completion of the transaction, the Zibrandtsen family will obtain an indirect ownership of 20% of GlobalConnect A/S and founder Niels Zibrandtsen will be appointed to take place in the new Board of Directors of GlobalConnect A/S.
The share sale and purchase agreement and the reinvestment are subject to certain customary closing conditions, such as clearance from competition authorities, that must be fulfilled before the share transfer and reinvestment can be completed. Closing is expected to take place in the first quarter of 2017.
GlobalConnect A/S will inform the market as soon as possible of any developments if so required under applicable laws.
