Australia – Hobart
Operator // Hobart International Airport Pty. Ltd. (HIA)
Overview
Overview
In Jun. 1998, HBA was privatised under a 99-year lease to HIA, a Tasmanian gov’t owned company operated by the Hobart Ports Corporation. Macqaurie and Retirement Benefit Fund (RBF) acquired majority interest in HIA in 2007 for AUS350m. Macquarie’s majority position provides for management rights and three of six seats on the board of directors. In mid-Mar 2019, Macquarie engaged Credit Suisse as sell-sde advisors to facilitate the planned disposal of its 50.1% stake in HIA. Australia’s “light-handed” regulation, which facilitates EBITDA margins upwards of 80%, make HBA an attractive investment target. Macqaurie is said to be seeking a minumum of of USD500m for its stake. Bidders reported to be pursuning the transaction include; Schiphol Airport (advised by Lazard), Vinci (advised by Rothchild), QIC (advised by UBS), UniSuper, IFM, Morrison and, potentially, HESTA, Cbus, with AMP Capital rumoured to be out of contention
