Our role as Sole Financial Advisor to Equinox Holding

IMI Corporate & Investment Banking Division acted as Sole Financial Advisor to Equinox Holding for the sale of a minority stake in the capital of the investee Adria Ferries to Eurizon, which will enter the company's capital through the two Alternative Investment Funds Eurizon ITEᴙ and Eurizon ITEᴙ ELTIF.

The transaction is expected to close by the first quarter of 2022.

Adria Ferries, a client of the Banca dei Territori Division, is a major Italian operator offering maritime services between Italy and Albania with a fleet of vessels for the transport of vehicles and passengers (roro-pax).

The presence of Eurizon in the shareholding structure will allow Adria Ferries to give a significant boost to the growth and industrial development process already started in recent years and, at the same time, to strengthen its skills in order to seize investment opportunities to consolidate its value at national and international level.

With this transaction, the Division further strengthens its leadership position in M&A transactions in the infrastructure and transport sector.
