Congratulations to KKR for signing binding transaction documents to acquire Perpetual’s corporate trust and wealth management businesses for $2.175 billion.
Gilbert + Tobin is advising KKR on all aspects of the transaction, drawing on experts across corporate/M&A, banking, financial services regulation, superannuation, disputes and investigations, intellectual property, technology and digital, tax, employment and other parts of the firm.
The G+T team was led by partner Alex Kauye , who has advised KKR on numerous investments across different funds and strategies in Asia-Pacific.
Alex said: "This transaction sits alongside KKR’s investments in Arnott’s and Colonial First State as another example of KKR’s proven capability in complex carve-out transactions. We are grateful for the trust that KKR continues to place in us to support them on their Australian portfolio.”
