AES Corporation has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by a consortium led by Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) and EQT Infrastructure. The transaction is valued at approximately $33.4 billion, including existing debt, with an equity value of $10.7 billion. Under the terms of the deal, AES stockholders will receive $15.00 per share in cash, representing a substantial 40.3% premium over the 30-day volume-weighted average share price. The investing consortium also includes major institutional players such as CalPERS and the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA). By taking the company private, the acquisition aims to provide AES with the financial flexibility needed to accelerate its clean energy growth strategy beyond 2027. This strategic move ensures the company can fund its expansion without the necessity of issuing new equity or reducing dividend payments.
