A consortium led by a subsidiary of the UAE's wealth fund ADIA has participated in a substantial capital raise led by French asset manager Tikehau Capital, amounting to one billion euros (approximately $1.17 billion) to support the portfolio company Egis. Alongside ADIA’s unit, US-based Apollo S3 and Neuberger Berman, an American private equity firm, have also invested in Tikehau Capital’s continuation fund focused on Egis. Although financial specifics remain undisclosed, this capital injection aligns with Tikehau’s private equity decarbonization strategy, initiated with its acquisition of control over Egis in January 2022 from Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations (CDC). Egis, known for its innovative infrastructure and building solutions addressing climate change challenges, intends to leverage this funding to explore new M&A opportunities, particularly in North America.
