  • Eversholt Investment Group Agrees to Buy Eversholt Rail Group from HSBC
    Press release 4 November, 2010 Eversholt Investment Group Agrees to Buy Eversholt Rail Group from HSBC Eversholt Investment Group (“EIG”), a consortium comprising equal stakes from 3i Infrastructure plc, Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners and STAR Capital Partners (“STAR”), has signed an agreement to acquire Eversholt Rail Group (“Eversholt”) from HSBC Asset Finance (UK) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of HSBC Holdings plc (“HSBC”). The transaction values Eversholt’s gross assets at approximately £2.1 billion and the consortium will fund the acquisition through a combination of equity and debt. Eversholt Rail Group is one of the three leading rail rolling stock companies in the UK. It owns approximately 29% of the total current British rail fleet with 19 fleets of rolling stock, specifically designed and built for the UK rail network. The fleets are leased to seven train operating companies and its revenues are primarily derived from long-term lease payments. “We are delighted to be acquiring Eversholt,” said Neil King, Partner in the Infrastructure team at 3i Investments plc, Investment Adviser to 3i Infrastructure plc. “Its strong market share, well-diversified customer base and high quality cash flows from leases contracted over the medium to long term make this an attractive asset with strong infrastructure characteristics.” “Rolling stock fleets are an integral part of the UK’s transportation infrastructure,” commented Jim Wilmott, Managing Director of Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners. “The past decade of high passenger growth means these fleets are fully utilised and likely to become more valuable as passenger numbers continue to grow. Eversholt is a well-run company with a successful strategy and we are looking forward to working with the management team and our consortium partners in building on this success.” “STAR’s investment in Eversholt reflects our strategy of supporting capital intensive businesses with strong cash flow visibility and downside protection,” said Paul Gough, Partner at STAR.
