APG, the Dutch pension fund, will acquire a 39% stake in Belgium-based parking garage operator Interparking from the Canadian pension fund Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB).
APG is paying an equity price of €500-600m for the stake and the deal values the company at an enterprise value of around 14-16x EBITDA, a source close to the process told Inframation, Unquote's sister publication.
The company posted €148.7m in EBITDA in 2018.
AG Real Estate and Parkimo will retain their current stakes in the company.
APG manages around €529bn in pension assets. Interparking is the fourth direct investment managed by the pension fund recorded by Unquote Data.
This is the second large-cap sale in the parking space in 2019, as Ardian divested Indigo to Mirova and Meag in March.
