DUBAI, Oct 25 (Reuters) - Bahrain-based private equity investor Investcorp has agreed to acquire the debt-management business of Britain’s 3i for 222 million pounds ($271 million), it said on Tuesday.
The proposed transaction will add $12 billion to Investcorp’s assets under management (AUM), bringing the Bahraini company’s total AUM to $23 billion, and will be fully funded by the company’s existing balance sheet.
Investcorp said it does not plan to seek debt capital or further equity investment for the transaction. ($1 = 0.8180 pounds) (Reporting by Hadeel Al Sayegh; Editing by David Goodman)
